Glass
I will rise now
And go about the city
In the street's broadways I seek
Him whom my soul loveth

Went over the sea
What did I find
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armour

And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colours
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifled up the beam
With the perfect armour
With a perfect dream

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem

To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride

this vid rocked my world SO HARD. It is so unbelievably gorgeous. I have actually been avoiding the movie, because I am a crazy obsessed fan of the book and fear disappointment, but this is...exquisite and seriously tempts me. It feels like Alan Moore learned to vid. *g*

Thank you ever so much. The movie itself is -- very faithful in many ways, and not so in others; while it was impossible for it to live up to the book for me, I found it to be enjoyable in its own right, but your mileage might vary. I'm just so glad that you enjoyed it, and this:

It feels like Alan Moore learned to vid.

Is an incredibly high compliment. Thank you.
