Moon lit shadows cast upon the shore Love's forgotten images of what once was pure Angels of beauty lay silent in the waves Fierce warriors slain in battle For love they were slaves She was a woman of frailty and grace Vails of silk and satin hid her face The most radiant beauty of all the lands All the courts noblemen competed for her hand But her heart bled for another He was a man who charmed her like no other Strong and brave, wild and free She long to be in his arms To live life as she dreamed it should be He was a peasant, so said her father Not worthy to court the hand of his daughter But she defied him and went on her own Beyond the castle walls to meet her beloved By the sea at dawn Hand in hand they walked together through the sands And watched the sun rise over the land Enraptured their souls did embrace They made love on the shore And vowed to each other their love would never be erased Love marks the sword, clearly divided Two different worlds, lives collided Blood stains the shore, memories cast in stone Love's enemies made themselves known Silk on steel marks the final blow As she prayed for the life of her love with hope Blade pierces her flesh his love fades away And he kisses her lips as her last breath gives way Falling tears wet the sand Upon his knees he takes his daughter's hand Fury builds in the eyes of her lover He strikes him down, sword cast in stone As he vows to never love another Sindel 1999 (c)Birth sign: Not entered
