It pulls me from beneath
Deeper and deeper into the void of oblivion
Caked earth chokes the slash
As the voice becomes a gurgle
The red stream pours out
Earth stood,tainted by his betrayal weeps
As love lay slain
The darkness comes
Shrouding all affection, shrinking hearts in grief
The villain reigns
No longer a caring heart to shade a hurt
No tender caress to heal a slight
No gentle words to soothe the broken spirit
As love dies

When with withered hands
We grope the bell and ring for hope
Scaling walls that had imprisoned us
Searching yet for love's promise
Of a child born or unborn
Through whom we might glimpse love's gaze
The tyrant rides rough
Scythe raised urging the siege
That rules humanity
No more a voice raised in cry of hope
No more a hand stretched to lift another up
No more brothers but foes
As love dies

We stand with buckled knees
One more time, daring to hope
Like a new rain,
Love's scent floats to us on silky feathers
To the sun we raise our parched hearts
Waiting to drink from hope's fountain
Hate lies crumbled,faced with shame
The amoral corruption is shackled
As love's child is born
Again our hearts will lift
Again we would share in harmony
Again love lives...
