"Cracked" lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman / Am F Am G / / Am F G Am / - G FG Am / Another world, another time A sacred place, a grace sublime But it is no more -- we cannot go back To the world before the Crystal cracked Once we heard the call of the sacred height In our hallowed halls, we turned towards the light But the dark we dread lives in every soul With the Crystal cracked, how can we be whole? What befell that day was no twist of fate It's the price we paid for our heedless hate We denied our pain, we dispised our flaws And were cleft in twain by our own cruel claws We may yet return, if we still are wise To the path discerned by these ancient eyes But the strength must come from the hand of youth To redeem the shards of the light of truth If we look again, without pride or fear On the shining face of the Crystal mirror We may see new days like the days of old But the tale's true end has not yet been told
