Past life, or one and done?
A familiar solace in the touch of a lover, a reminder of a bond once forged.
In the end, the debt to death is always paid.
But can the hunger for this love outrun time?
Faced with this conflict, Don’t Cry promises another way…
A chilled, haunting piano leads us down a darkened path,through towering trees to the edge of the world to the very precipice of life.
A serenading string quartet rises above a powerful, punctuated dark and gothic rhythm,rallying something supernatural in an attempt to fuse the raindrop with the sea.
Together. Forevermore.

Don't Cry
If you stay with me
Just know that I’ll protect you from the end of time
This kind of love comes once in a life
Your eyes shine bright from the tears inside
So let’s swim through the sea of nothingness
To the island of this last caress
Don’t cry, don’t cry
Everything will be alright
Don’t cry, don’t cry
Together we will never die
Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry
Oh, ooh, woah oh, o
Dark forever more
Burns from desire to keep you warm
Throughout the night
Until the dusk we’ll take our flight
The world’s asleep
Pray their souls to keep
As we fly through the sky like the chilling wind
Tonight is where you and I begin
Don’t cry, don’t cry
Everything will be alright
Don’t cry, don’t cry
Together we will never die
Your beauty takes my breath away
Just one more kiss we’ll trick our fate
Don’t cry, don’t cry
Together we will never die
Just take my hand we’ll slip away
And go beyond these mortal graves
So don’t you cry
Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry
Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry
Your beauty takes my breath away
Just one more kiss we’ll trick our fate
Don’t cry, don’t cry
Together we will never die
Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry
Oh, ooh, woah oh, o
