Lyrics
[melancholic harp intro]
[verse]
Were you awake, at night?
Were you the comet, I was told to see?
Were you at the Fountain, chasing your dreams,
but they're sliding away... from under your reign.
[chorus]
O descending Queen, perching top the Mountain,
with hearts left unmend, weeds untended.
Hand holds up your gown, wading through the upstream,
see joys left unfound, when you lift off...
[short harp interlude]
[verse]
Were you awake, at night?
Were you picking at, your own hair?
[chorus]
Soaking in the rain, heading for a sojourn,
hear words yet unsaid, blind eyes unmet.
Feather follows ink, falling into motion,
see it spiraling down, when you turn your frown...
[key change]
[dark chorus]
O descending Queen, have you all forgotten?
I was by your side, a consort broken.
And here is where I stood, in the valleys, watched your sun hide.
[bittersweet uplifting piano break]
[bridge]
Here is where you stand, on a Mountain of hurt.
A witch without a faith, who'd lost a war out of words.
The Fountain can't sate you, when composure yields to heat,
you begin to... descend.
[harp interlude]
[chorus]
Standing in the rain, holding onto a moment,
where it ends, for your hearts to mend.
Feather follows tears, falling over your canvas,
see them swirling up, where you turn your smile...
[key change]
[dark chorus]
My ascending Queen, wading through the burden!
I was by your side, but soon forsaken...
So here is where I'll stand, through the flood, to watch your sun rise.
[instrumental outro]

[contemplative chorus]
Standing in the rain, holding onto a moment,
where it ends, for your hearts to mend.
Feather follows tears, falling over your canvas,
see them swirling up, where you turn your smile...
[quiet chorus]
My ascending Queen, wading through the burden!
I was by your side, but soon forsaken...
So here is where I'll stand, through the flood, to watch your sun rise.
