Sapphire

Lost in this haze (you’re worthless)
I swim in the mist for days at a time
You come to a point where one must act on his words
A broken resolve, a path carved into the mountain’s heart
One last escape—the only light in this darkness

Into the unknown my spirit has flown—it’s time now to follow
The wraith of my dreams tears apart at the seams with the sight of my captor

No escape
In the sapphire starlight
It’s my trial of fears
Come with me to the shadows
As hell appears

And so I’m discovered, my father’s rage inflamed and provoked
They call me a traitor
It’s not betrayal to run from your pain, but certainly shameful
And so I sit and await my trial
They’ve taken my friends away, extinguished their chances of happy lives

I’m dead on my feet; they sit in their seats and pierce me with dead eyes
They question my pride, they threaten my life
My future is uncertain

Austria’s plans will soon come to light
A happenstance benefit now that is ripe
You’ve offered your future as king of this realm
Reverse what you plea as the moon turns to stone
You will never really be free until you explore it
I run for my life

Where are you taking him? Leave him alone!
Dear Friedrich, I must say goodbye
It’s time for my star now to fade in the night
Be strong and don’t break your own will
A brave man who kneels there with tears in his eyes
The sword in the sun wants to fall
My head to the bars so I can’t look away
By god I will make you all pay

No escape
In the sapphire sunbeams
Piercing through to my cell
Come with me to the shadows
To my personal hell

I am swimming in anger, I will make them all burn
Not for this flash in the pan, but for the whole damn situation
