Immortal Fairytale

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).
