Crystal Tears

When all life comes to a burning crescendo,
Fading away like the shadow cast by a blinding sun,
Will you be there for me,
To wipe my crystal tears?

If all the world becomes a sea of angst,
Swimming around in its fastidious pool of misery,
Will you be there for me,
To wipe my crystal tears?

With a detrimental blow,
From an earth-shattering bow,
What will become of me,
When you fail to wipe the tears?

If ignorance is bliss even to the tribes of war,
With me a brave soul amongst the wondering,
Will you be there for me,
To wipe my crystal tears?

In an unearthly show of staged propaganda,
A stand-in actor beneath the scrutinising spotlight,
Will you be there for me,
To wipe my crystal tears?

A life-changing feat,
Strived by all so as to meet,
What will become of me,
When you fail to wipe the tears?

A wicked detachment from all I knew,
Beneath the shade of a disguised life,
Will you be there for me,
To wipe my crystal tears?
