Reference: 'Crystal Singer', Anne McCaffrey
Crystal Singer, do you hear the crystal cry
Does it cut your soul; each small goodbye?
Waiting for that final farewell chord
Piercing to the heart like crystal sword
Crystal Singer, bride of spore betrothed in song
Will the silent spore that makes you strong
Also make you slave to Ballybran
Aching still to leave it when you can
Bridge: When the crystal song is floating free
Stealing all your time and memory
Is the endless joy you have today
Worth the price tomorrow has to pay?
Crystal Singer, carving on a crystal hill
Torn between the wind and crystal will
Living out your doom without regret
Ageless actress on a crystal set
Crystal Singer, do you hear the crystal cry
Does it cut your soul; each small goodbye?
Waiting for that final farewell chord
Is the crystal curse it's own reward?
