Let's uncover the ruins of a broken heart
Laying beneath these desert sands,
As I can see us both torn apart,
As I have yours tears stained upon my hands.
I was there to raise the skies higher
When you felt the world crashing down on you,
As I resurrected these Roman pillars,
Now forever enveloped by Poseidon's blue.
I wish that I was not the one to bring the Black Death
That nibbled on the grand feast of your soul
For now I am left with nothing,
But my heart, you see, it's now made of nothing but coal.
I was there to hold you beneath my wing
When the world was consumed by fire,
And there to hold you from this apocalypse I now caused,
As you prayed within my shielding shire.
Like these ripples living anew each second
Within the Dead Sea,
As I left you to whither,
Off Athena's great olive tree.
I was the shooting star that fell within you hands,
And the wish you caught in you palms,
As I opened the key to your heart,
And shot unto them the arrows of the Psalms.
Yes, I left the ruins of your heart
Sinking slowly into this moving Earth,
As time, cutting these memories apart from us,
Brings us anew into the next day's rebirth. |
