One Thousand Lives

You’ve seen it all
Stars of unseen world
You’ve heard it all
The silence dark within words untold
You knew it all

Memories dark agonizing and deep
Souls without rest and home
Starlit rains across endless sea
Silver tongues upon bare skin
Licking away absolute cold
From unveiled veins

You’ve seen it all
All dawns and sunsets
You’ve heard it all
All songs veiled with first grace
You’ve felt it all
All world’s sorrow and pain
You knew it all

Undone laces fall down
With pride and all cloth
Bare, unveiled, never cold
The feel of unknown yet love
Two souls are forever entwined

Before the world’s fall
We will live one thousand lives together
Before the end another dawn
Will rise one thousand times for ever
The heart believes over and over
