Be her sky

Описание: Track 3 of 4 from the Evening Star story.
When a star falls in love with a mortal and decides to ask the gods to let him become mortal too. But the gods deny him.

Lyrics:

You called me from the darkness,
Spoke my secret name:
"Break my crown of embers,
Let me fall like rain.”

You would trade
An age of burning
For one brief
Borrowed breath.

You were
Never meant to wither,
Never meant
To fall like stone.
Star of mine,
Stay cold,
Stay endless,
Be her sky
And not her bone.

You dream of quiet hands
Made to hold your light,
You would drop your crown
Just to be known one night.

But all flesh
Is born in breaking,
Every cradle
Built for ash.

You were
Never meant to wither,
Never meant
To fall like stone.
Star of mine,
Stay cold,
Stay endless,
Be her sky
And not her bone.

I am the answer of creation,
Voice inside the endless dark.
I will keep you far and faithful
Fixed above her fragile heart.
She will love beneath your shining
Someone fading,
Made of dust.
You will watch her rise and vanish
And will keep your fire just.

You were
Never meant to wither,
Never meant
To fall like stone.
Star of mine,
Stay cold,
Stay endless,
Be her sky
And not her bone.

And if you fell
You would forget this,
You would crawl in mud and rain,
You would learn a body's limits,
You would feel a mortal's pain.

You would breathe her final winters,
You would hear her last thin word,
You would lie beside her silence,
Beg me then
To be returned.
