In the palace of sighs, Through the pillars of winds And the pool that reflects An ocean of tears Raining down from a sky That has long been no more - <p> There in an ancient And forbidden time, Perhaps then you and I, Just you and I, One last, endless time, Could defy once again The laws laid before The foundations of man And of worlds and of gods - <p> And we'd know that the love That was ours, truly ours, In the joy that was more Than a joy, and the pain That was greater than pain, And the loss that unmade All creation with passion That could have brought forth New worlds in existence - <p> Some say that the choices we faced Were all wrong, yet we chose With the courage of death, Did we not? And in choosing to love, Did we truly believe We could flee far beyond The binding of vows? Did we think to outrun The swiftness of wrath, When gravity's eye Passed unyielding judgment On heart's hidden lies? <p> Betray me and leave me, But tell me one thing: That though we chose wrongly, And though we now writhe In the throes of a vengeance We wrought on ourselves, Yet still we brought heaven Down into this hell That our wounded hearts built - Please tell me that you And I sinned in Love. <p> And if not, Damn all worlds and all gods, All laws and all loves - For of Love I care not - It is you - You alone that I want.Birth sign: Aquarius
