These lovers were not recognized in their lives, so they built a new life together. |
Lullabies tell of a soul long forgotten Who laid to rest because no one could see The purity of the boy he used to be He sold his soul in exchange for life Then went to sleep for a thousand years Until he was woken by a girl Who loved the night And saw in him a million tears That cried for the innocence he lost She gave her life to his blood-red lips Then fell into a beautiful sleep Her soul was gone but blissfully free Unfound in life, but missed in her death Innocent souls cried and kissed her head And lit a candle for every day she lived She was laid in a coffin of black and red Only to wake when the day was dead. Life goes on and we are side by side Together we wander the moonlit nights Two souls who traded life for blood We see in each other what no one else could. I'm running in circles around this empty grave There's nothing left for me here (so the voices say) So please come take me away from this place Make me a believer in what used to be You who set my trapped soul free Hold my breath as we watch the ivy grow Around this ancient stone (A reminder of a reality we used to know). |
