If my thoughts were green
Would you know what I mean
If I said to you
My mind is turning blue
I always said we lived in dreams
But now I know
You never heard a word I said
I used to see a pure white surface
On your soul
But now I know it's only red
Now I know
If my heart was gray
Would you turn away
Could I get it back
If my love was black
I always thought I fooled myself
But now I know
You never heard a word I said
I used to see a heart of gold
Deep in your eyes
But now I know it's only red
Now I know
If my thoughts were green
Would you know what I mean
If I said to you
My mind is turning blue
I always said we lived in dreams
But now I know
You never heard a word I said
I used to see a pure white surface
On your soul
But now I know it's only red
Now I know
...and now the worst has happened. I leave you, old friend, and I bid farewell to Longview. I go to find my daughter, and I go to kill the fiend who took her from me and destroyed my world. Evermore is dying.....Is it true? Did you sell us out? He brought your statue to life and maybe you knew love for a moment, but at what cost? You led him to Perelandra! You've let the sorcerer in and now all is lost! And you can be certain your precious Arianna serves him now. I have seen her in dreams -- she has become like him. She is a fallen one, a dark angel with eyes that glow yellow and wings that will carry her from torment to torment. And whom do you serve? Is it too late for you as well? ...I know this is my last letter to you...
