One World

Deep in thoughts the painter had a scene
Of magic landscape, pure memory serene

He was a dreamer before that fateful night
Eyes of flames, heart full of desire, soul of hope
Tales in paintings he drew for that heart
Creating the one golden-sunset home
For her, the one angel with sad eyes

A wish to heal once broken heart
He knew that was his secret art

Bloodred shadows dance upon the shore
Licking bleeding scars of the torn core
You look for devotion
I search for redemption
You want to heal
I wish never again to feel
Hearts beat together though
Desiring one true love
Hoping for purity
Once again to win

Shadows dance upon the shore
Hiding tears on smiling face
A pale veil covers my broken core
While wind whispers another chance
To feel, to be, to love

A painter walks along the shore
Searching for the one lost long ago
A dream of his tender heart, clear artist’s soul

Somewhere on another shore
Lies a lost-in-dreams girl
Living a tale through reality’s core

Both souls belong to one fantasy world
Hidden somewhere so deep below
