It was all so perfect.
You and I- we were in love.
Lost in a blissful passion,
The instrument of your voice painting our love song
That danced on my ears.
Nothing could ever go wrong.
And then I fell,
Gripped in the clutches of Thanatos
The darkness consumed me.
Now a spirit, wandering,
Lonely, lost, loveless without you,
Longing for what we once had.
But I, my Love, was gone
For eternity.
And then your voice came.
Drifting through the dark caves of Hades' domain,
Soaring above the lost souls
The most beautiful sound ever heard-
The song of our love.
And I followed.
You had come to free me
From the fields of Asphodel.
The esperance of escape and our effervescent love
Encouraged me onward.
Our love would conquer all.
Don't look back, my Dear,
I am coming,
Following the melody towards the light.
Have patience, my Dear,
I'm almost there,
So close to being with you again.
But sometimes...
Sometimes love is too much...
Sometimes longing turns into loss...
The deep thirst for the other becomes the undoing...
Sometimes craving becomes a curse...
You looked back.
And our song vanished.
Our love song never sounded again,
Never heard by my ears
Or sung by your sweet lips,
For your love became our downfall.
