After The Fall

The story happened once
Deep in a dream
In-between imagination and real

After the fall
It turned real — his pain drew the world
Deep in a dream of her own

Flowing into the sight
Of little girl’s mind
His story came alive
Drowning in the sea
He was close to ever relief
Though eternity left for him the light

By his hand the memory was drawn
In silence his voice cascaded on her
Telling the story of revenge and love
Cold and cruel betrayal caused to his soul

Tell me your bandit’s secret
And I will keep it forever
Hiding it from them all
Who never felt the fall

I will try to save your soul
From the reality’s cold
Just give me an oath

She cried stroking his hair
Begging him stay away from death

Don’t kill him
Let him live
Don’t ever try to die
I love you and want you to stay alive
