Lovers and Lies

Stars burn and fade

All ashes now the flame

Let them crumble to dust

And the sacred blade rust

Forgotten in our hearts

Stirred by sorrow's part

Let it come to pass

When the winter's gone at last

Twice tried, once played

Now alone and unnamed

What's been done and said

Cannot resurrect the dead

Beyond where the moon

Stirs the sea and sits the loon

There the raven waits the day

When he chooses who will pay

A heart long broken cries

No one doubts that she lies

Begs another chance to try

So far beneath the clouding sky

Reaching for the sword

Because he doubts her word

Blood be spilt, breath be spent

No more time to repent

Stars cross the galaxy

With no thought for humanity

He feels so alone

In the place he once called home

Now there's no one left

No one saw when he wept

Once weak, sword is strong

And the raven is gone
