The Edge of Dawn (Fire Emblem Three Houses OST)

 Reach for my hand

I'll soar away
Into the dawn
Oh, I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls
In peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays
Faint lights pass through colored glass
In this beloved place
Silver shines, the world dines
A smile on each face
As joy surrounds, comfort abounds
And I can feel I'm breaking free
And for a moment lost in time
I am finally me
Yet still I hide
Behind this mask that I have become
My blackened heart
Scorched by flames, a force I can't run from
As I live out
Each peaceful day
Deep in my soul
Oh, I know I can't stay
So, I wish I could hide away
Hold tight to what I love
Keep cruel fate at bay
As the rain falls on your path
I chase your shadow
I don't feel a single drop
Or the ground below
Then you turn to me 
And I stop before I know
And the lie upon my lips
I let it go
Cross my heart
Making vows I know will be betrayed
A sad girl's pleas
Live only for a breath and then they fade
Don't ever take
Back your kind hand
Lest precious love
Slip away like time's sand
Only we will know
All that was lost
Scars that we can't erase
Show us life's true cost
The blue moonlight
Cuts across our sight
As pure and clear as a ringing bell
Reaching for us in the night
As the wind calms my thoughts
I have strung on this terrace
I feel at peace
Carried away by the wind's song
Open the door
And walk away
Never give in
To the call of yesterday
Memories that made
Those days sublime
These ruined halls entomb
Stolen time
Reach for my hand
I'll soar away
Into the dawn
Oh, I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls
In peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays
