An Epic Story of Love

Such beautiful features
Angelic, maybe so
And a heart made of porcelain
One touch, don't let go

Shatters into pieces
So fragile and small
Crawling round are leeches
His figure they maul

"I'll chase them away
If you hand me that sword
You'll be my Princess
And I'll be your Lord
We'll live and we'll die
And I won't leave your side
Just promise me this...
Your lips are mine to kiss"

Your coffin is narrow
Your figure lain straight
The sun is now dying
It's long since gone late

Six years, to this day
Six years and six weeks
My eyes still drop tears
Each day they do leak

Your scars will not heal
You'll never again smile
I've forgotten how to feel
My soul is in denial

How could someone do this
How could they tear you apart?
How could they break down your being
How could they shatter my heart?

"I'll chase them away
If you hand me that sword
You'll be my Princess
And I'll be your Lord
We'll live and we'll die
And I won't leave your side
Just promise me this...
Your lips are mine to kiss"

I'll tell you how they could do it
It's because they don't live
They haven't experienced love
They don't know how it feels to give

They just take things from others
That will be sorely missed
They just take and they take
They could draw up a list

Of things that they've stolen
Of people they've killed
Of heart's that they've butchered
Of water's they've stilled

I always will miss you
I always will cry
On the ouside I smile
On the inside, I die

"I'll chase them away
If you hand me that sword
You'll be my Princess
And I'll be your Lord
We'll live and we'll die
And I won't leave your side
Just promise me this...
Your lips are mine to kiss"

Those immortal words
Upon your gravestone each day
I read them, I breathe them
And I wish them away

I'm a memory of you
I don't have my own life
They've murdered a man
Why did they leave his wife?

These tears, they still fall
They stream down my face
Into the muddy, dead ground
They strip away my grace

I want to die along with you
I'll sleep one more night
In the morn', I'll be gone
Please, turn off the light.
