The melody is lovely.
Although no lyrics are being produced, Lucien remembers a street entertainer he saw in the mortal districts nearly 10 years ago, playing, "Heaven and Blade in my heart."
A beautiful woman applies light make up, standing at the window, staring at the stars. In her mind, she thinks of a Samurai she met on the street, she gave him everything, even giving up her throne as Daimyo.
The song portrays the samurai's gentle touch; and the pain of being betrayed, because the man runs away with her fortune.
Now that he is old, Lucien understands that the words, 'blade,' 'stoned chest,' 'faster than light,' 'man of dark thunder,' and 'deep into the oasis,' are not easy concepts to communicate.
With the right tone, the man's appearance is expressed vividly, making the listener imagine things beyond the author's comprehension.
