Scarlet Angel

Like a lone moon in the night sky
Highlighting the wavering shadows
Your smile shines stably
Unchangingly towards the end of time

Thousand scenes of the past
Those warm hands try desperately
To reach through the darkness
No matter what, they just slip away

The broken tunes ringing in that room
Those torn laughters fade visibly
Like an angel visiting an ancient house
You realize your heart can't be denied

That tinkling sound of the musicbox
Trying to remember that love so deep
You hold it to your chest
And faltering... Faltering.. .

The melody which plays on forever
Breathes life into layers of dust
Like an angel pierced by delicate glass
You realize there's more to this sky

The melody which plays on forever
No matter how you wish 
Will only play for this beloved
The angel which it was made for.. .

Your gentle hands take the music box
And let it crash to the ground.. .
