when i was a child   you know how children are   i wanted to be   like the morning star   morning is so innocent   trusting and fair   with mother love and angels   reflected on your hair   oh morning star   how warm you are   let me be like you      as i grew up   the morning star   faded into space   then i saw the evening star   standing in its place   i tried to turn away   terrified to find   father love and demons   entangled in my mind   but   despite myself   i saw this other me   oh evening star   how cold you are   it's you   i've come to be      but you see that   once i thought them different   as the moon and sun   but now   but now i know the morning star   and the evening star   are one      mortal immortal   icicle and flame   feminine and masculine   and i    i am the same      so i hereby   take myself   my soul doth take my heart   to honor love and cherish   till death do us part   i will i will   accept myself   with hope and fear and wonder   and what i have joined together   let no one put asunder   let no one put asunder
