Cobblestones and willow trees,
Cavalcades of weeping girls,
Confluence of destinies,
Why do we cry?

Bondage of the desperate will,
Billing of the requiem,
Bonnie lake and window sill,
Why do we try?

Chimney sweeps and waterfalls,
Caravans of jealous eyes,
Cryogenic lovelorn calls,
Why do we sigh?

One last whisper, one last tear,
One last heart upon your spear,
One last wed of black and white
One last whimper, one last night.

No more anguish, no more pain,
No more crying in the rain,
No more living in the wrong,
No more dying, no false song.

Only truth and only love,
Only throne on skies above,
Only foot on holy ground,
Only life and only crowned.


Maple leaf and balcony,
Ministries of lovesick eyes,
Mirror of lucidity,
Glory we cry!
