A Flame Twice Burned

[Verse] Under the shadow of the ancient oak In whispered darkness love awoke A priest and witch by fate's design Their love did break all sacred line [Verse 2] Her raven hair His solemn vow In midnight’s grove No turning now ‘Neath starless skies and hidden moon They cast the world aside too soon [Chorus] Hands entwined in love's embrace Underneath the forest’s face Townfolk’s wrath A torch-lit fate Together burned No love too late [Verse 3] Cries and chants from chapel spire Couldn’t quell their heart's desire In lock of fingers Whispered charms A final night in forest’s arms [Verse 4] Through the village Flames did soar Illuminating all they swore Promises in whispered screams Bound by love In dreamer's dreams [Chorus] Hands entwined in love's embrace Underneath the forest’s face Townfolk’s wrath A torch-lit fate Together burned No love too late
