A complex story about two Zodiac signs. The theme is a real life love story/tragedy
The star sign Aquarius, what more can I say,
The lining of the stars show you're not for me today.
The water bearer runs off free, forever in a field,
Fighting fate for a bull when fate tells him to yield.

The bull won't help despite the cost and distance between,
The bearer bears the burden of what this will one day mean.
But look what luck and odds so great, a billion to one,
The bearer's act is noticed by the moon and the sun.

The moon shrouds the earth for a moment blinding fate,
The sun sends a single ray, before it’s all too late.
The light hits the bearer as his act is seen in full,
The desperation of his heart now witnessed by the bull.

The care, shame, pain, and lonely sentiment,
The stone heart shattered by another almost spent.
With a heart now free and shackles gone, the bull can now ride on,
And be united with her love, proving fate was wrong.

The bull arrives by her love with joy and happiness,
But in front lays the bearer, laden still and now lifeless.
As light returns to the earth with everything revealed,
Fate stands above with his bloody sword concealed.

He says, "This is what happens when you do not yield to fate."
"I will grant you your wish but your death will set things straight."
With deception wrought, a good fight fought, the bull now all alone,
The sacrifice not wasted with her heart now free to roam.

She stands up tall with pride and all, without shedding a tear,
Despite the loss, despite the cost, her heart will persevere.
She looks on back for one last time then swiftly makes her way,
From this day on she'll live so long a life free from dismay.

The star sign Taurus, what more can I say,
The lining of the stars show you're not for me today.
I leave you now to live your life without me by your side,
Please don't forget my sacrifice, for you I always tried.
