The sky like glass the oceans silver, the meandering streams ever passing like fading dreams.
Now who will paint the midnight stars? Who will illuminate this darkness?
Who will free those chained captives and portray the color of their life? Who will paint the sky with stars and uncover the mysteries of the galaxy's so far.
A voyager or traveler? an adventurer or pilgrim?
Nay none but the hands of beauty and light, will ever touch brush to sky.
Yet the two light and beauty betrayed the stars. They forgot their love and broke a legion of hearts.
They left them to die to fade darkened as the darkening sky. They left those precious gems forgotten purged of light, stripped of beauty.
The stars in turn one by one fell deep into the abyss. Burning shamefully forever it seemed cast out of bliss.
Great was the lament of the sky the day it was robbed of its pearls. Barren of beauty love and light. And there it sank deep into the dark cold gray sea.
Slowly, sorrowfully it sank deep, deep, deep into the dark cold seas.
Night has brought those who sleep golden warmth forever to keep, It has wooed them to sleep and caressed them there in the softness of the deep.
Sleepless tormented and frail Those the ones who yield not to hail. Those the ones who do not look up Those the ones whose evils fill their cup.
Oh lover of the night mischievous beauty Oh darkening shadow oh fading light.
Your glory was once breath taking your eminence eye opening. Your beauty desired above all else your light above all eternal.
Like a unfinished work or a half built home, you are now neglected faded into black The chance was yours hope flew upon your shoulders. The sky a white blank canvas the stars yearning to be painted
And yet you oh beauty you oh love, forgot those precious gems.
You forgot the power that they had you forgot the love that they shared.
And for your sins eternal damnation will be placed upon your wretched heads
For you are the murderers of those starry lights You are the killers of the love filled nights.
Lovers now cease to love Dreamers now dream no more of the heavens above. Your sins have bound you to an eternity of flame, From here on our you life will never be the same.
On that day that cursed day, when the devils triumph was great When the heavens fell and beauty and love made their foolish fate.
The sky fell deep into the sea and there it laid for many days and many nights.
Mourning the loss of beauty and love mourning its fate mourning its doom.
And on that day that cursed day when legions of devils danced upon lovers hearts.
When the darkness seemed brighter then the light. When the ages of man seemed to fall away.
When the very heavens broke loose and the neck of life breathed its last under the chocking noose.
Then and there in the deepest of dungeons a hope small and beautiful was sprung anew.
This hope was not like any other ever known. It was bright like fire warm like the sun fierce as the wolf that never turns to run.
Like a furnace it billowed and it burned. It raged and roared it smote all in its path.
It heaved and it sighed and broke apart the fearful curse That held captive the lovely sky and kept it from you and kept it from I.
It pierced through the darkness it scorched the fear and broke its back. This new hope bright as the sun fierce as the wolf took up the soft cold hand of the sky held her close and lifted her high.
Lifted her out of the deep deep sea lifted far out of the deep cold sea.
It raised her up on the wings of eagles and carried her heart to the safe havens of Elysium. And with it the noble Hope restored beauty, love and light to the world.
Brought back the dreamers and the lovers and returned the world back to its rightful place.
And at the end of all things the last and final deed this chivalrous hope did do. Was paint the glorious stars onto the sky for me and for you.
This hope so fearsome this hope so bright this hope so great that it has saved the beauty and has brought back the light.
The sky now once more does shine the heavens so full with beauty. If only if only those jewels those precious gems and jewels of unimaginable worth were truly mine.
Oh hope how marvelous a thing thou art for you have painted the skies with the most precious of stars. And have filled this heart, this heart with love.
