Moon­lit stars that shine so bright, in the dark­ness of deep night
Carry with them hopes and dreams of the tragic in-​​between.
When hope and faith are washed away, and fear con­sumes the live long day
That is when my soul is bare, to give to you.… for­ever share.

In the place of long­ing thought, where the strug­gle is for naught.
Seek for me and you shall find, that the trouble’s far behind.
Con­quered, beaten, vic­tory toss; it is not a savory loss.
Left in tan­gles soaked in tears, for­ever and a thou­sand years.

Courage filled with end­less hope, with the earth star far below.
Makes the past seem out of time, and the pas­sion for­ever shine.
With sun and cloud in end­less war, the pace of life goes as before.
Pricked with cupid‚Äôs poi­soned darts, shaped by fate and paper hearts.
