Moonlight Shadow

Moonlight Shadow Broken dreams On purple flamed wings Celtic rumors Burning bright Crosses and crescents Knights and swords In the mist of a weary mystical night I saw her lying there, chest broken and bare Picking her up, horse galloping away We escaped the arrows and swords She my sworn enemy lay half dead and splayed My duty for not to tribes, but only to save Slaved to the sword, this moment I escaped Both bloodshed and grief Freedom at last In a hut in the forest I dressed her wounds I caressed her heart Our eyes met over the firelight I emptied myself into her She, with lips so sweet Drained the flood of tears and hate From my very being Shocked that love should strike me as an arrow I held her, my first and only love For three days and three nights We whispered to each other foreign words I touched her face and as she touched mine In my arms she died Softly and loved I buried her I buried my hate I buried my sword I buried my history Celtic rumors Burning bright I, at peace For the final flight I held love within my arms For that celestial moment in time Now the final embrace Wrinkled and old I kiss deaths door Knowing within She is there to greet me
