lyrics

SCENE 1

EMBER: There it is,
Fire, beauty, death?
The light of their flame fills the sky.
Will they hurt me?
I don’t care if they do.
I would ascend with their light, away from this pain.
Carry me away from this pain.

But no, I cannot!
I must find out who has taken him, my Cerulean,
Before I die.
He was in my arms, in my heart,
Now gone.
My heart is colder than this frigid winter land,
Where breath freezes before my lips.
My skin has cooled to match the ice inside me.
No! I must not let them take me.

It’s suddenly quiet, as if they just wait
To listen to my story.
They say they only hear in whispers,
If they hear at all.
Great Aurora Borealis, please hear my plea.
I must speak to my love,
My love who is now in your care.
He was taken from me too soon,
And no one knows who to blame.
Great Aurora Borealis,
I must but as him one question,
Please grant me this wish.
