it was to be the strangest night i'd ever know   it was the night i'd bear the maiden's child   and break the spell   and break the line   it would have kept me from my truth until the end of time    and then the maiden spoke to me   kissed my eyes, she let me breathe   and when her veils fell to the sea   she picked me up and carried me   to a place where lovers bleed   the blood of love, so tender sweet   now looking back to where i'd lain   i knew then i'd never rise again    she broke the spell and broke the line   that could have kept me from the truth until the end of time    though i've played among the fallen leaves   taken in the splendor of the seas   and mother moon still muses me   in her, i've found   my eternity
