Words of two lovers on the shore.
Two lovers.
One soul.
And the waters roar below.
She said, "Would I wait a thousand years for you
and a thousand years more?
I would."
He said, "Would I die a thousand deaths for you
and again a thousand more?
I would."
And on the shore,
two lovers fell to their knees.
She said, "These sands are full of empty vows
and unfufilled words.
And when the morning comes,
what is washed away of our promises
and what remains?
What remains?"
He said, "This ocean ebbs like time
and returns like seasons,
But even here, our worlds could never blend,
so what will be our end?
To what end?"
"I swore I'd wait forever."
"I swore I'd die at your word."
"I'll match your promise,
so our souls can fly together.
Forget the sands and vows that fail,
let's plunge to the ocean
and soar..."
Two lovers.
One soul.
And the waters roar below.
And they walked farther and farther
                      into the torrential waves
                                until the lovers went crashing down.
