When the tale of truth be told
It hesitates to yet unfold
For in the fields of buried gold
Is where the story's told.
From amber waves of ecstasy
To our hands of heresy
That fought against our families
Is how our tale receives.
The lies we whispered one by one
The truths that then became undone
And coaxed away the morning sun
Is how our tale begun.
The shattered glass and closed windows
The pile of stone from failing throws
Staring through the dark unknown
Is how our story goes.
The sunny hours without each other
Lonely days stacked one on another
Hiding how we felt from others
This is our sad tale my brothers.
Brushing hands as we passed by
Smile at a dove's shrill cry
And though people may wonder why
That's just how our tale unties.
Calling on you in the dark
Searching for your hand and heart
Your body is a work of art
That's how our story starts.
Together with abandon but
We did not see the eyes above
Glaring at our forbidden love
But that's how push came to shove.
We tried our best we really did
But we were found although we hid
And of you now I am rid
And that's the story fate forbids.
