The Gilded Crest

[Intro]
[Verse]
The frosted stone feels deep
While the heavy shadows creep
I find a secret to keep
Where the jagged silence is steep
Crumpled pages in the sand
Held within my trembling hand
[Pre-Chorus]
The ink is stained with brine
A message in a line
The seagull calls your name
And nothing feels the same
[Chorus]
Gilded crests upon the deep
Promises we meant to keep
The light begins to leap
While the weary oceans sleep
Your spirit finds the shore
I am lonely nevermore
[Verse]
The cello starts to moan
In this tower made of stone
I read of storms you braved
And the love that we both saved
The piano keys are soft
Lifting every word aloft
[Pre-Chorus]
The ink is stained with brine
A message in a line
The seagull calls your name
And nothing feels the same
[Chorus]
Gilded crests upon the deep
Promises we meant to keep
The light begins to leap
While the weary oceans sleep
Your spirit finds the shore
I am lonely nevermore
[Bridge]
The first star starts to rise
Reflecting in my tired eyes
No more winter, no more cold
Just the stories that you told
The night is full of grace
In this holy, silent space
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Gilded crests upon the deep
Promises we meant to keep
The light begins to leap
While the weary oceans sleep
Your spirit finds the shore
I am lonely nevermore
[Outro]
