Before There Was Rosalyn The Bennadonnamyth lyrics

War wages outside these walls
But your eyes are like the sea
Two oceans that pull and draw me in
Our hands in one another's
This moment in time will pass too soon

History will devour the love between us both
History will devour the love between us both
Consequence will take me from you

'Forgive me' will be written on the walls of a room
I will paint with the brush of regret and bind in a book
I will seal with a kiss the night
This century comes to, comes to an end

Oh my fabled Eve, it's not you
But I who still burns from the serpent's tongue
Take this knife, split my heart in two
I'll keep half of you, you'll always be the better half of me

You'll always be the better half of me
With your hand in mine I thought we'd last forever

I hope you understand
I have to hope we never meet again, never meet again
War wages outside these walls, it too shall pass
With your hand in mine and mine in yours
I'd hold these gates forever

But the new millennium will see
Ahab's great white whale traded for a, for a
For a unicorned, unicorned, unicorned horse
I will understand, I will understand
I will understand, I will understand your distance
Your silence, your distance, your silence, you
