Strength to Light

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
In yonder realm where crystal hearts do dwell,
Where prisms dance in gleaming daylight's thrall,
One diamond sharp, another’s strength doth quell,
Yet in that clash, the light itself doth fall.

[Chorus]
Oh, precious stone, thy brilliance doth deceive,
For in thy break, the light doth also cleave.
What once was whole, now shattered lies apart,
As fragments glint within a broken heart.

[Verse 2]
A diamond’s edge, so pure, so fiercely bright,
Can rend its kin with naught but silent grace,
But in the breaking, lost is all the light,
No more doth shine that once resplendent face.

[Chorus]
Oh, precious stone, thy brilliance doth deceive,
For in thy break, the light doth also cleave.
What once was whole, now shattered lies apart,
As fragments glint within a broken heart.

[Bridge]
Thus speak I now, a woman’s voice of woe,
Who sees the truth that 'neath thy surface lies,
For though thou art a jewel in beauty’s glow,
Thy strength is but a guise that light denies.

[Outro]
Oh, precious stone, thou art but mortal too,
When broken, fades the light once pure and true.
In shattering, we see the final spark,
A fleeting glimpse before the endless dark.
