with the princess i would

leave the city gate

she and i would go into

the fields and wait

for the sky to dusk turn dark

and feed the moon

a knight could only hope

light would not come soon

the land looked weary as we

walked over the tombs

of the dead of age and

those killed in the wombs

only darkness could hide

the guilt of day

the guilt of those who did

their best to look away

so let the darkness

earn us light

and give us day that

wants no night

as we crossed a bridge

i noticed her despair

almost hidden by the

beauty of her hair

she was the only one

that i would ever love

could we only live to

see the sun above

so let the darkness

earn us light

and give us day that

wants no night

so let the darkness

earn us light

and give us day that

wants no night

the girl and i would run

faster every day

where two are gathered

there is always a way

so let the darkness

earn us light

and give us day that

wants no night

so let the darkness

earn us light

and give us day that

wants no night
