Once upon a time A star fell in love with a star He could see the other in the distance But they could never touch They could only see the other’s light The first star was not satisfied He watched the other star from a distance But he could not get any closer Then he made a deal with the devil for a chance to get closer But he sold his warmth He sold his own light And became a planet The star loved him more for this But she still could not touch him
So she made a deal with the same devil To give him some of her light and warmth And a chance for them to get closer But this deal came with a price And the devil doesn’t play very nice The planet was moved closer But the devil placed a rock in between Told them to keep it warm The star shone bright on one side The planet reflected the suns rays on the other The planet was not as cold But he was lonely For he could see the sun But she was just out of reach And she could see him
The planet in between took pity on the lovers And made them an offer That if the once-star would become the planet’s slave They’d someday have no responsibility To the him and the beings on it So He became a moon Tied to the planet revolving his star The moon would travel around the rock To come between his love and his master And he’d bask in her rays And theyd be happy for just a moment in time But eventually The moon will be called back To the lonely Cold Dark place behind his master Where he can only catch a glimpse of his sun Around the curves of a rock
