She was beautiful, her eyes like pearls

There was a girl

She was beautiful,

Her eyes like stars

 

She cried like the rain,

And simled like the sun

She was the one for him

 

All until she was taken away

To a far off place

She was told was heaven

 

This place was dark and blue,

Her heart turned cold

She no longer knew what she was living for

 

She ran, ran away

From this far off place

 

If only she knew

 

If only she knew,

She knew that she was running closer to her death

 

She ran, ran away

From this far off place

 

She got closer,

The sky was bright 

But she could see his shadow

 

Never was his name

And always was hers

 

He came into the light,

But his face was still covered

 

Who are you, who are you?

 

You loved me until you ripped me apart,

By leaving me, the shadow said

 

They stared into each other's eyes,

As they both remembered the pain

 

Just say my name,

Say my name and say it loud, the shadow said

 

No! I refuse, she said

 

Say my name! Say it!

Please...

It'll save us both

 

As they stood there,

They both knew what they wanted...

 

THEIR DEATH

 

They saw their death flash before their eyes

As she said his name

 

"She was beautiful,

Her eyes like pearls"

 

He said it would save them both,

And maybe it did

 

Taking their pain away,

Taking their life away

 

Their names are now forbidden

And never to be said

For their story is gone,

And the world may never know
