This is a story that shouldn't be told
of a love that shook heaven and earth
whose memory lives until nowadays
It is discussed among the leaves and fruits of trees
it is whispered by te feathers of birds and the eyes of snakes
Two young people, in centuries unknown and ages forgotten
fell madly in love, so much that the world around them was singing
The lad, whose name is taken away by the dust of wind
and the lass, whose face has set with the last rays of the solstice
they tied their fates so tightly that even Alexander's sword couldn'tsplit them up
And everyone was happy with their love
that like it no traveler who wanders in the universe has seen or heard or even thought about.
But the Darkness was jealous, like a witch's curse, inhuman and envious
and whipped the parents' thoughts until it sculpt them to give them
a shape that it found suitable
They forbade their love, using pretexts and excuses, whistles of the wind, insensitive and cruel.
A cloudless night, warm, with stars so bright
the lovers met again, hidden from all they came to each other
they hugged so tight, looked deep in their eyes and uniting their lips
from a mountain top they flew, into the abyss they were gone
no humans or beasts or birds saw them again
Only when time marks the day of their suicide
two angels bring the tortured youth
and let their souls to reunite
and the birds are singig and the wild animals are calming down
the moon sheds all its light that keeps from the sun
the rivers for a single moment hold their water, they dry their springs up
and the whole creation mourns the two lovers
because they have but a single tiny moment to meet again,
to sing together and in an erotic dance to die off
And they have to wait when to meet again
Woe to the souls of those people who imbeded such a love
so magical that has not an ending anymore.
Love is an attempt to en-light this universe that is full of darkness.
Hi Kostas, Love is light! No wonder why darkness fears it. And darkness is the eternal truth, But we prefer to live in a bliss Of fleeting light...
