The Lovers

Can you hear the voices when the wind blows
their voices like fog on the morning
rising so slowly to challenge the dawn
for she chases the night away
darkness is the blanket of their love
night ever eternal
the dream of those cursed to hide their love

the dawn she rises
bursting through the sky
tearing the lovers asunder
scattering them like leaves on the wind
their love can not survive the light of day
for each was promised to another

the day he rides through the sky
never a thought for the loss he brings them
shining ever bright threatening to expose them
other lovers frolic walking hand in hand
but a single passing glance or act of happenstance
in the light of day will unmask them
 
can you hear the wolf howl
his voice racing through the sky
they call him to their aid
to come and chase the day away
bringing them once again to twilight's embrace
and returning the darkness of the night

The sun he will not go easy
fighting to his last ray
the dusk burning with his fiery rage
but the wolf he will not be denied
his triumphant bay
once again calling the darkness from the light
at last he has freed them

The night silvery and silent
she embraces them
spilling diamonds eternal through the sky
a blanket for the lovers in the darkness
to wrap them and protect them
for as long as she holds sway

Love is the eternal struggle
As old as night and day
wether in the darkness or the light
it will not be denied
