This song was inspired by the Crystal Singer series by Anne McCaffrey. Years, ago I had the pleasure of singing this song when I was hired play at Border's bookstore in Cincinnati when Anne McCaffrey visited.

lyrics

Body's starved for crystal song
As my flesh begins to quake
Crystal sings in blood and bone
Beggin' now to stop this ache

I have cut the crystal long
and my past begins to fade
decades gone from my memories
Living life, day by day

Chorus:
Crystal blood rules your very soul
Gaining youth, not memories whole
I will crave 'til my dying day
Crystal blood I must sustain

I am dragged away from you
By my need for crystal cry
Once I sing, I will give up
All my thoughts of your blue eyes

Instrumental Chorus

Bridge:
I will crave 'til my dying day
Crystal blood I must sustain
Now its time to cut the face
Let me feel the cutter strong
Body screams to feel it now!
Slake my thirst for crystal song

Crystal blood rules your very soul
Gaining youth, not memories whole
I will crave 'til my dying day
Crystal blood I must sustain
Crystal song until my grave
