Palindrome

The old me is dead
Long live me!

Three years and three long nights
I've waited in the dark, waited for your return
Dreaming of dragons and brave knights

The old you is gone
And I love to be alone!

Hushed words and quiet glares are my memento
All I can see is what you promised you'd never show me
And now the infernal music is reaching its crescendo

The old me is dead
Long live me!

Sitting around a table, we stare into each other's eyes
Weaving new dreams with one another's thoughts
Our gaze fixed on the crystal stars in the dark sky

A new name
That's what I dream about!

I am siting on the cold ground and you're there next to me
Doing my best not to look you in your bright eyes
Keeping my head closed off, knowing things you should never see

The old me is dead
Long live me!

We're siting around a warm fire late at night
You're relighting wonder I thought gone in me
I am sobbing as you're leading me again into the light

A new name
That's what I dream about!
