Lyrics:
There's a war inside my head
And I'm drowning in regret
When the lights come down
Got an empty crown
My body's missing pieces
Can't pull it all together
My body's missing pieces
I wish I could remember
My body's missing pieces
Can't pull it all together
My body's missing pieces
I wish I could remember
There's a war inside my head
And I'm drowning in regret
When the lights come down
Got an empty crown

From what I know which is little, there is an old tale in Japanese lore. That if a man sits still for a long enough time he will turn to stone and remain in place forever. Because of this I think the man failed to protect his love so he sat, with her in his arms, and could not leave, he stayed so long holding her that he turned to stone.

here is a 3 years later version of my last poem.
Maiden and Her Stone Warrior
"Will you feel lonely once I am gone?" she asked,
"Who said I will leave you, even when you are past?"
With a gentle smile, the maiden laid her head to rest,
The warrior pulled her close, in his everlasting embrace.
Beneath the sakura tree, an old stone warrior stands,
Holding his lover's skeleton in his gentle hands,
A testament to love that endures time's vast expanse,
Their bond still holds as centuries of seasons dance.
Like a candle's soft and mild steady glow,
Their love still burns, with a flickering radiant flow.
In this timeless stance, their bond remains,
Love like flames that never wavers or wanes.

The love between this warrior and the maiden was forbidden, and when they didn't abide they were cursed , the women would never be able to bear children. They didn't care about the curse and they thought their love exceeded everything, so the women got pregnant and they were happy because they the curse was false ,time went by and one day, the women was feeling immense pain in her stomach, the lovers tried everything but the pain wouldn't stop, the warrior tried carrying her to the shrine on top of the mountain to seek help, on the way the maiden now sings the song:
"There is a war inside my head": meaning she is confused questioning her decisions, not knowing if she would make it, not knowing if HER child would make it alive.
"And am drowning in regret": she is regretting ignoring the curse and bearing the child
The pain now stopped and she feeling dizzy, she knew her child died, she puts her hand on her stomach , and the song continues:
"My body's missing pieces": referencing to her baby whom she just lost
"Can't pull it all together" it's something that time can't heal, it's not a situation where one can pull himself together.
"I wish I could remember" (this is up for interpretation): she is trying to remember how her life has been like what people usually do on the brink of death but she can't remember anything.
"When the lights come down": her vision is getting bleaker and darker, she is losing consciousness.
"Got an empty crown": the crown is being a mother, the dream she so truly wished for, and empty meaning that that dream she had was in the end nothing but a dream.
The warrior now noticing his wife was dead, there was no point in taking her to the shrine instead he took her to the place they first met, he sat with her between his arms, her hands were on her stomach.
"The warrior turned to stone
The maiden now of bone
Together for eternity
Shall never be alone" I took this last quote from the comment section

Whispering tales of love
Forbidden thoughts, below and above
I carry you my bride my other half
Until the arrows shaft
Found you and I wasn't able to protect
Now our bodies we have left
We can dance in the starry delight
Comets and galaxies entwined
I am yours and you are mine
Sitting beneath the bodhi tree
Secret seductive silent thoughts are stemming from thee
Your crown of life has faded
My emotions are hardened and jaded but I will seek you life after life
Passing on the endless night π
