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 killed 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
