act 4: prophecy

time is seperation
that which once was is no longer
time is a harbinger of pain
as she burns out
and as he gasps his last breath
time enfolds them both
crossing over, rising higher
both become new
both arise different,
neither remembers the other
on the wall it reads
"WHEN THEIR EYES MEET, ALL WILL BE SAFE, AS THEY BOTH BURST INTO FLAME"

act 5: revelations of trees and ash

there she rises
from the ashes holding nothing
to anyone at all
here she goes now
creeping closer towards the light from which we were created
all these terrible things, haunting us
running in shame we all fall down
struck down with passion and fury
she begins to end it all

there he stands
beneath the shade of this blackened tree
the waters are calling his name
beckoning him to wash away all this opression
to end it all before the light consumes his burning question
he has this strange dream of a girl embedded in ashes
and when he gazes upon her
embellishing her with his way with words,
oh his words cut the mountains in two

its not easy knowing that
gazing upon your lover
means the end of both of you
