Love Lies Bleeding, Dreams Breaking On the Sea

Constant sorrow, longing heart 
A wounded soul that wishes to help
A sickened body that cannot die
Hating the physical condition 
Yearning for the healing staff 

Wishing I could help, knowing my body is sickly
Yearning and hoping my strength returns soon
Like a dream upon the sea of stars

Hurting the heart when my lover, 
Doesn't believe my capacities 
Feeling the crushing pain and sorrow fall down
The tears unshed waiting for the final release 

My love lies bleeding, my heart opened up 
My sorrowful song enclosed 
my dreams slowly break on the harsh sea
Constantly my hope is battered across the rocks
Will it break soon?

Wishing that I had the same look,
Dreaming the fanciful illusion
Wishing to break the incubus curse
Always longing for a love that doesn't leave 

The dragon and the Phoenix are bound in the bamboo cage
The dragon song moved the Phoenix heart
Soon they loved ensnared
When they regain freedom 
Will their love still be there?

Fearing the way forward. 
Regretting the troubled past
When will my heart find peace?
When will I be at ease?
When will I be free?
