The composition is powerful enough alone, but the lyrics dealt quite a sucker punch to my emotions. Unfortunately I don't know what it means to be free of /my/ castle of crystal and stone. The world outside my castle is nothing but cruelty and bondage.
Welcome back. :)
Beautiful, wonderful. The percussion sounds strange though, like that one drum is in a can beside my ear. Everything else sounds perfect. Wonderful, wonderful progression and dynamics.

This music is smooth and mellow. Mmmmm. I would enjoy exploring a cave in a video game with this playing in the background. As repetitive as it is, it never annoyed or bored me. :D
Ahah, thank you! ^^ And yeah, I've repeated the main theme multiple times (Each time with different instruments playing, though.) so that you can hear the difference with the melody at 3:13, where it sounds more "tiny" and "alone". That's what make it so repetitive, but I personally think that it actually fits the song.
It's nice. I was looking at this picture while listening to your music:

They combined to make an impactful image.
Oooh, It fits well with my new song currently in making :3
