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 k**ed 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
