We Were Lovers

we were made from the same pot of gold
bathed in the pool of silence, we learned from each other's woes
i was like the pupil and u was the iris, entwined in time no one could divide us
like yin and yang we rested at each others hand
consecrated by the goddess of love at the sway of her wand
we painted the facade of our bond with togetherness
you was the elixir that cured my emptiness

we were the sun and the moon
seekers of lost stars, Antony and Cleopatra's doom
we were like fireflies at sundown
diamonds and rubies in abundance
we were lovers

then the man with a black heart came
the separator of mother and child, brother and sister, Theseus and Ariadne
the reverse of life, he's pleasure was pain
he put tears in my eyes and blood in your spine
he took away your light and darkness was mine
replaced our flowers with thorns, annihilated our bond
emptiness reborn, in stillness i mourned
for where light lingers, darkness hovers
just when love decides, hate conspires

we were the sun and the moon
seekers of lost stars, Antony and Cleopatra's doom
we were like fireflies at sundown
diamonds and rubies in abundance
we were lovers

i couldn't stand the sting, knowing you was not there
so i stained my mothers knife, took my worthless life
traveled through a thousand light years hoping to see you here
at the birth place of love, Aphrodite's bosom
where love fills the air, like a wild explosion
so hold me, hold me, make this moment worth a while
now that am here, treat me to a dance
the feeling you give me is stronger than life
our love is eternal, forever will pass

we were the sun and the moon
seekers of lost stars, Antony and Cleopatra's doom
we were like fireflies at sundown
diamonds and rubies in abundance
we were lovers
