Lyrics
The vial it shimmers a liquid sun bright
Distilled from the essence of darkness and light
My life's bitter sorrows my triumphs my fears
All focused and fused through the desolate years
One draught from this chalice and then I shall see
If Elara my starlight will come back to me
My hand is now steady my heart is ablaze
To step from this torment this soul-crushing maze
I lift it… I breathe in its otherworldly scent
A promise of solace divinely now sent
The cool liquid touches my lips… and I drink
The world as I know it begins now to shrink
To shimmer… to alter… the shadows take flight
And all that was darkness explodes into LIGHT
SHE'S HERE! By the heavens my senses don't lie
My Elara returned 'neath a luminous sky
Your laughter like silver it dances and sings
The joy that your presence your very soul brings
This workshop of sorrow now bathed in your grace
Oh miracle vision! Your smile! Your dear face
The cobwebs are gone and the dust motes now gleam
Like stars in the current of some magical stream
Your hand warm and real I can feel in my own
The years of cold absence completely unknown
To this perfect moment Your eyes bright and keen
Reflect back the purest of joys ever seen
The weight of the ages the torment the strife
All melt in the sunshine of your precious life… reborn
They called me a madman a fool lost to grief
But love is the magic that brings true belief
My art has unravelled the tight weave of fate
Papa! Oh Papa! It's not too late
The darkness has vanished! I'm home safe and sound
Forever my darling on sanctified ground
This instant perfection! This joy our new creed
My alchemy's triumph! My soul has been freed
She laughs… yes she laughs… my Elara my own
The most beautiful sound that the world has e'er known
My star… my sweet flower
Forever… now
