Atop a hill, two lovers sit,
A question asked, a promise made
The kiss that’s shared the Fates elide 
For Destiny cannot be swayed

The light, the dark, their purpose clear
Choose one to build, and one to break
So all shall tremble out of fear
For she doth mold a world so bleak

But then a hero must arise
To cross her sword with evil's might
And victory o'er one despised
So once again prevails the light

So once again prevails the light
The hero's heartache matters not
Because she knows she can't lose sight
Lest all shall fall to death and rot

It happened once, so long ago
When Sun and Moon with Chaos supp'd
And friendship could but bloom and grow
To drink their fill from plaided cup

But Nature can't be parley'd with
And Nurture too will take its toll
The wheel must turn, his fall was swift
Defeat as well, to stonèd soul

Now pierce her heart, the sword you drove
Right through her chest is meant to be
Ignore the voice that begs for love
Away she'll turn, too blind to see

She tried to save her, fool she was
Atop that hill was question posed
"Must I be forced to join this cause?
My price I paid, my chapter closed"

The answer came, a promise spoke
"You turned to light, so I must turn.
This price I pay, for balance broke
Is now my duty to return.”

And so the kiss must be forgot
And so for love a soul turned cold
To force the one who’s mortal out
To end the battle ‘twas foretold

Within the storm, a mortal weeps
Her blade still drips with passion slaked 
Within her wings, her lover sleeps
A princess fallen, ne’er shall wake
