Pale Nara of Crystal City

Lyrics

[Verse] Out in the fields where the wildflowers grow, Nara stands tall with a forehead aglow, A crystal that gleams under moon’s silver light, Drawn to the city, even though it ain't right. [Verse 2] Her son's words are whispers she can't seem to hear, "Leave Crystal City, come on, disappear." But Nara, my dear, you crave all the pain, Chasing a dream that leaves nothing but rain. [Chorus] Oh Nara, pale Nara, when will you see, The city's no place for a heart to be free. You’re breaking and aching, just walk away, But the crystal calls you, and there you stay. [Verse 3] She wanders the streets with a heart full of scars, Collecting her bruises like lost shooting stars. The crystal it cuts, and she loves how it stings, In the city of harm, where sorrow she sings. [Verse 4] Her son tugs her sleeve, pleading under the moon, "Ma, pack up, let’s leave, and it better be soon." But Nara just smiles, with a faraway look, Held by the crystal and the pain that it took. [Chorus] Oh Nara, pale Nara, when will you see, The city's no place for a heart to be free. You’re breaking and aching, just walk away, But the crystal calls you, and there you stay.
