Starlight
With the whisper of a white rose,
With the kiss of a steel sword,
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
My starlight Queen, she who can never see,
My love that can never be
She who can never know exactly how much,
She means to me.
Blood given and blood taken,
Her love is a strength, my soul cannot afford,
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
One love dead, another untouchable,
My sleepless nights are troubled,
Because she is the first and the last,
She is the only one comparable.
Wearing my silver wedding ring again,
My love, even for the dead, will never be the same,
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
Unable to touch or think,
Only the anguish and longing do I feel
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
Hallelujah and praise the lord
My starlight and love are found anew,
Because my pain has past, and I can see what was always plain
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
The depth of my love unreturned,
Threatens to destroy this new thing I have found
As deep as, but completely different from the old.
Please do not scold.
Leaving my former ideas of pain alone,
I find little solace in my anger or my sword.
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
Hallelujah and praise the lord.
You do not see me,
You cannot know me or the tears I shed now,
You do not know how much I love you, more than I should,
More than I ever thought I could.
My hope is smothered in a brittle smiles fold,
Because, like the stars I feel so old,
Like them I am in the cold.
clouded and befuddled I am tonight,
because i can't do what I want,
bound by what is right.
through all that I have fought,
all that I have seen and heard,
all that I have bled,
I have been alone and that was okay.
yet under the moon and the stars tonight,
before the sun rises showing it's light,
before I am again bound to do only what is right.
I realise that I love everything you are and being alone has simply shown,
how painful lonliness is, everytime I look on your face.
so bound me and bind me, even as I hope, I pray.
That loving you silently, freeing feelings probably unreturned
and doing what's right for everyone else has earn't me this one pardon,
that loving you regardless of how you feel is enough,
on the long summer days and into the bitter winter nights.
