Eternity lies
Beyond humanity’s gate
Chained to a life spent

Memories, still buried deep
Haunt you in your restless sleep
Tucked away inside your heart
This we knew right from the start
Our lives would never be as one
Betrothed to yet another’s son
I couldn’t hide, he saw my face
Into the dungeon, the only place
He knew to leave me, there to die
Then tell his tales, lie after lie
Of how I broke his heart in two
Because my love was never true
Now buried in the castle keep
I lie here in eternal sleep
And call to you, my only love
Can you hear me from above?
Will you come to stay with me?
Yes! Fulfill our destiny!
Where thorns replace the reddest rose
There, we shall lie, in sweet repose

My love lies strewn about me
Flowers grace the lake
Each one of them now signifies
The vows we’d never break
Yes, we were bound together
In sickness and in health
It’s the love we shared between us
That signified the wealth
We spent the days in harmony
But our favorite spot grew dim
And that is when I truly knew
That you had gone to Him
You left my side too early
I did not understand
Why God would take you from me
That wasn’t what we planned
Yet, I will visit, quite often
Speak to you, under the trees
And you can whisper back to me
With the softness of the breeze

This portal lies before me
Tis blackened, without light
I promise to never forget you
As I fade into the night
Yet look for me, come morning
O’er the lake, a frosted kiss
So you’ll forever feel me
Though I’ve faded into the mist

I cry another tear
As I watch the sky
Darkened by terror
And the clouds weep
Draining their wrath
Over the lands, exhausted
By the fires that burn
In the evil that dwells
And yet, we watch,
As another brother loses
And the devil wins again
Taking and taking, never
Relenting, never a hesitation
For as long as these men
Shall shed their own blood
We shall never know love
The brotherhood, once
An almighty power, has
Been shaken to dust,
Battled to the death,
Relinquished peace…..
