The cavern dark ere seemed to say
"Hope flees my depths, and only they
tricked by fate will ever stray
into this void that devours day"
Yet above my crumpled, broken heap
Beneath a mirror's reflected deep
I see, I see!
Ghostly fire from afar
The burning warmth of distant stars
My soul rekindles, resolve returns
Dispels the tomb where I'm interred
Lightly, as if on fragile wings,
Comes now brave hope and sweetly sings
How wondrous her tune!
How beautiful her voice is to a broken mind
Oasis she is, her source divine
Hidden in vast deserts, below the hopeless sand
Ever she waits to help withstand
Full of her sweet waters, I muster up the strength again
Aloud, I choke and beg and plead for help
And then-...
"Hello?"
