Our Precious Sunshine leaves the village, defeated

His friend's body in his arms like a heap

Not knowing of what is to come

Not knowing how the battle is won


He sets the scarred man down, still defeated

He revives the man, the cycle repeating

Now Scar has two lives, and that much closer to Crimson

Now he is that much closer to what is to come


As Scar revives, Our Precious Sunshine sings

His voice quivers, his heart bleeds

He sings a song, a song that will carry them til they die

The song wafts through the air like a cry


Scar awakens,

His soul, shaken

His life, taken

His honour, broken.


He hears the singing of his friend

He believes that it's the end

He sees the angel standing above him

And he falls deep into love for him


He reaches his hand up,

His Sunshine's cheek he cups

And the man smiles

Not knowing of his future trials


Our Sunshine feels his friends love

He returns the gesture, speaking of

His gratitude for his lover

He stands, and they help one another


To the west they travel, to a barren desert

Not spending one moment apart

They follow each other's hearts

Not ever wanting to depart


They come across a mountain near the border

A place with no water

A place with no order

The perfect place for the two lovers


They set up base

On top of the mountain's face

They build a castle brick by brick

Together, their work fares quick


In their hands they harbour

The last of the dark oak that was slaughtered

The child of the Oak, their daughter

They set her down in cool water


Her roots grew down, spreading deep

The child-like sapling grew into a tree

A promise, a testament to their love

A sign from those above


And together they sing

A cry of jubilee

For of the sand, they were kings

Their voices a testament to their spring
