Fragile Thread from Witness Marks by Forestbather

long ago we split the earth
and in the fracture stars appeared
Parcae thus placed a divide
but I won't let them interfere
in the universe reflected
on the surface that we broke
something stirred as we immersed
in water where our bond awoke

time and distance separated
stretching out in unison
bidding in the interim
we both forget where this begins
roots of aspen and of cypress
mesh beneath the passing days
the way that our worlds collided
left a mark you can't erase

I know fate spins a fragile thread
but I'll search for you until I'm dead
there was something within your eyes
that left my spirit hypnotized
the day we met I could've sworn
I'd known you before I was born
no amount of miles now
could shake this feeling I have found

was it planned we'd reunite
or was it destiny defied?
it'd be easier on Decima
to measure from our side
when the hourglass runs out
I'll turn it over once again
conjure all the obstacles you want
because we won't relent

descend into the depths and
shake loose from the dust and ice
awake from fevered dreams
and chart my own course for my life
the spool and rod and shears
may think that they get to decide
but I'm not afraid as long as
I have you by my side

I know fate spins a fragile thread
but I'll stand with you until I'm dead
there was something within your eyes
that left my spirit hypnotized
the day we met I could've sworn
I'd known you before I was born
no amount of miles now
could shake this feeling I have found
