Shadows projected upon mine dreary wall
Painting murals of death and betrayal
Dancin within the flicker of the waning moon
And the candle, slowly dripping its last wax
Yet the wick still remains
It's not a fuse; it burns too slowly for measurement
Truthfully not at all
But once the wax has eroded away
Leaving my wick bare to the world
It shall sing its songs of love and longing
To which you shy away
The youthful flame dies out to be lit again
Not today, not today
It's too cold for fire now

To my sweet goddess,

Day in and day out
The sun rises and fades
The moon follows suit
A natural continuum of sorts

And like the sun and the moon
And the seasons they bring
My love for you is continuous
Starting but never ending

If life forces my hands from yours
And we are pried millions of miles apart
Know this, my only love
I will always cherish you in my heart

But I don't fear that day
For it shall never come
Millions of miles couldn't bar me from you
My love is too deep for that

For I have peered into the eyes
Of the divine in all of her mystic beauty
Which have cast onto my heart
A blessing of eternal passion

Should the sun die on the sunset of next
I wouldn't fear the ensuing darkness
I have the light of your soul
To show my path to your heart

From this path, I don't stray
I have only will enough to be with you
You're all I'll ever need
And I'll love you forever and always
To the moon and back

Open your eyes
And see me kneeling here
With an eager smile
And an anxious chuckle
See the nervous in my eyes
While I ask for your hand

Open your mind
Think past what is
And what was
Think to be what could be
You and me baby
You and me

But most importantly,
Open your heart
Lock the treasures within
No more
I know you worry
For their safety
But don't because baby
I'm right here and I'll never leave

The darkness of the night
Absolves the peace you've found
The demons run amuck
Destroying the gargoyles
That stood protecting your heart

I'm not made of stone
But darling I'm right here
I will stand in the face
Of evil to save you
I love you

I'm strong enough to stand
On my own two legs
But baby wouldn't it be grand
To stand on all fours
Mine and yours?

A sun set upon my heart
Driving me mad with unrequited love
I won't lie, it tore me apart
But now I stand before your smile
Oh baby won't you stay a while?

Forever could flash in front of our eyes
And it will be a spectacle
With you, nothing ever dies
Just me and you forevermore
Aren't ya ready to see what's in store?

I'm strong enough to stand
On my own two legs
But baby wouldn't it be grand
To stand on all fours
Mine and yours?
