Born to die

(Verse 1) In the shadows where the whispers sigh, She lived a life, a harlot’s lie. He, with vows of purity, Adored her from obscurity. She spurned him with a cold disdain, Yet in his heart, she did remain. She danced with men of fleeting kind, He, bound to her in heart and mind. (Chorus) He died to be reborn anew, She lived to die, her life askew. In realms of dark and light they roam, Their hearts forever seeking home. (Verse 2) Her beauty, like a deadly bloom, He, the specter in the room. Her love, a perilous, dark delight, He stole her heart in dead of night. She knew him not, her eyes ablaze, With passions deep, in fevered craze. Death’s dark embrace did slowly near, Its maw agape, her final fear. (Chorus) He died to be reborn anew, She lived to die, her life askew. In realms of dark and light they roam, Their hearts forever seeking home. (Bridge) He gave his life, a sacrifice, For her he paid the dearest price. In realms beyond, he found his peace, Where love and spring would never cease. (Verse 3) She walked the earth, a shadowed past, Her love a fleeting, dying cast. At dawn’s first light, her fate was sealed, To paradise, her soul appealed. A carriage dark, to halls of sin, With fallen kin, she wandered in. And there upon the threshold drear, She saw the one she once held dear. (Chorus) He died to be reborn anew, She lived to die, her life askew. In realms of dark and light they roam, Their hearts forever seeking home. (Outro) Yet by his side, another stood, Her memory lost, misunderstood. He lived again, his past erased, She lived to die, her sins embraced. He died to be reborn once more, She lived to die, her heart so sore. Oh, let this tale in shadows lie, And haunt our dreams as ages fly.
