The end of an era
In an age of dreams
Alpha to Omega to Alpha
And all points in between

Strangers at first
Friends to the end
Then one day cursed
A God-send ripped away

Where to go from here
Two souls to one and back again
Cry now, no more tears
A path once chosen, now forks away

A fire extinguished
Love fled away
Filled with utter anguish
Then quickly washed away

Breaking waves
Once a sea of love
Now just tainted waters
Innocence swept away

Promises once whispered
Now lost to the wind
A new era takes the reigns
An age of darkness is what remains
