The Moon's Lighted Grace

Before him stands the white pole guards
Dare he cross his blood would be shed
Looking upon the dark stone walls
His soul soars to her instead

She rest her head upon the ice cold bricks
Captive of their embrace
Her tears, she cries, throughout the night
Under the moon’s lighted grace

The guards aim at arm with their steeling spears
Thirsting for the blood of those who love
Rejoicing in, creating fear
Keeping love from them both

Her soul soars to the skies and meets with him
Dreaming of feeling his touch
She closes her eyes and says a prayer
Please do not let this be it all

He bows to his knees under the starry skies
Praying to the heavens above
Please let me have my one true love
Rip down that Berlin Wall

The wind started blowing with a howling sound
The East and West held hands
The dark bricks started tumbling down
The guards and their steel spears laid to rest

His soul soared to her and took her hand
No more was this, just a dream
He pulled her from the crumpled stone
And held her so tenderly
