Bound Beyond Time

He's so beautiful, 

like that of the voice of a siren 

that attracts you to your own grave 

and if that leads me to him 

even if it's for one last time 

let death be it, 

for then it'll be 

till death do us part. 


My heart full of love  

As I look into his eyes 

For one last time 

As I end my story here in this land 

And as I fall into his embrace, 


The world fades, 

His touch, both gentle and divine, 

Seals my fate; 

he was always mine. 

Binding my soul to his, endlessly, 

let the stars bear witness to this vow;

If love is but a fleeting fire, 

Then let it burn with fierce desire. 

To taste his kiss, though it be the last, 

I'd trade the future, and forget the past. 

For in his arms, no fear can dwell, 

Even as I hear the tolling bell. 

For in his eyes, I find my peace, 


A moment's bliss, a sweet release. 

And as I leave this earthly strand, 

I'll journey on, still holding his hand.
