I crossed over
In March
On the fifth
In the year of our Lord
1902
All these years
I've sat
Patiently waiting for you
I've watched
Our old world
Burn
Through the blackest of nights
Witnessed hearts bleed
With incomprehensible need
Seen corruption and
illusions unfold
As the seduced welcomed evil
Into their strongholds
Watched shining stars fall
Thinking of my fate
As I wait
Thinking
When will she call me
And walk through that gate
That I look to
Down that dark road
Every second
Whenever I think
Of you
I've looked in
Old memories that beckoned
Explored all the who knows
Linked to sin
Chased paper boats
With endless time
Just hoping
She's coping
In Heaven
And not broken
In the Deep Divine
But still
Perched
Upon this rock
I
Wait
Even though the Mendli
Think I'm crazy
But my old Love
Still cuts me open
Making me cling
To an old life
Dreams of a new beginning
So angels
Forgive me
But hear me
Quick
Take my hand
And lead me home
To her
Give me the Star Fire
If this can't happen
Or you can't do it
For I fear
I can no longer
Wait
For the opening of that gate
So let me cross the burning sand barriers
Step straight through the eternal fire
For is waiting for true love
The price worth this pain
As one
Moves on
And one remains
Show me a happy couple
And I'll show you the fire that ignites
And it's that light
That I pray
Keeps carrying me
On horseback
Throughout
All these
Endless nights
