Dragonfly - The Crüxshadows

Don’t ask me to surrender

Her voice fell tired and spent

My hopes and dreams, a silent heart

I carry here within

Her outstretched wings left tattered

A sail aged with rust

A breath in time that’s yours and mine

It belongs to only us

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

Silhouettes recede into a mother’s tearful eyes

A host of angels clamor to her side

A light dissolves to kiss the wind

Release the dragonfly

See the rose within the field of white

She’s searching for the grail

But the rain descends to snatch the light

From distant dying suns

A faint resounding in the night

Calls angels' wings to beat

Singing silent lip-sewn songs

But the distance is too deep

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

Silhouettes recede into a mother’s tearful eyes

A host of angels clamor to her side

A light dissolves to kiss the wind

Release the dragonfly

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

As precious moments will slip away in time

Angels fall from grace and sometimes heroes die

But tonight, my love, ascend the gates

Release the dragonfly

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

Silhouettes recede into a mother’s tearful eyes

A host of angels clamor to her side

A light dissolves to kiss the wind

Release the dragonfly

And I will write her name and cast it to the sky

As precious moments will slip away in time

Sometimes angels fall, but love will never die

Tonight my soul is something more

Calls the dragonfly
