Once upon a time A bard told a tale so wonderful So moving That it was told and retold again and again Across all nations And in all tongues This tale became the greatest myth More believed in than any religion or god It became a part of every culture As important to our genetic make up As any particles As integral as breathing Pumping through our very souls with each beat of our hearts Yet this story's happy ending remains elusive But such is the profound power of this yarn that men and women drive themselves to ruin yearning for its realization And upon such an occasion are consumed by the fiery nature of the story never to be the same This fable has a name And it is Love.

Ancient Tale
Once upon a time A bard told a tale so wonderful So moving That it was told and retold again and again Across all nations And in all tongues This tale became the greatest myth More believed in than any religion or god It became a part of every culture As important to our genetic make up As any particles As integral as breathing Pumping through our very souls with each beat of our hearts Yet this story's happy ending remains elusive But such is the profound power of this yarn that men and women drive themselves to ruin yearning for its realization And upon such an occasion are consumed by the fiery nature of the story never to be the same This fable has a name And it is Love.
