All of our sons are lions and our daughters are lionesses,  
In the shadows of the empire, we wear our scars like dresses.  
A ship on the ocean, lost in a tempest of dreams,  
The past is a wasteland, it haunts us with silent screams.  
We’re the ashes of rebellion, rising from the ground,  
With pain as our anthem, we refuse to be bound.  

Like sheets of blank paper, the future unwritten,  
As the world crumbles around us, our souls are smitten.  
We’re heroes in the twilight, shadows clad in grace,  
In nature’s wild chaos, we find our sacred place.  
Hopeful, confident, and proud, we stand on the edge,  
With every betrayal, we forge a new pledge.  

Cursed by our longing, blessed by our pain,  
Through the heartbroken struggle, we’ll dance in the rain.  
Grateful for the moment, yet bitter with regret,  
In the clash of the titans, we’ll never forget.  
The uncharted waters, where our spirits roam bold,  
We’re the stories unfolding, the legends retold.  

Ride the rollercoaster of time,  
Twist and twirl through the darkness we climb,  
In the heart of the storm, we’re becoming alive,  
With every heartbeat echoing, we shall survive.  
The supernatural whispers, a call to be free,  
In the apocalypse dawning, our truth will be.  

So here we stand, as the horizon breaks bright,  
With the fire of the fallen igniting the night.  
In the depths of despair, we’ll find our own light,  
Together, we rise, unyielding in the fight.  
All of our sons are lions, our daughters will roar,  
In the face of the end, we will strive for more.
In the garden where sunflowers bloom,  
Colors ablaze, in a sweet perfume,  
I feel Remington wishes drifting on air,  
Whispers of love, light as a prayer.  

A longing ignites like a star in the night,  
Your gaze, a black hole, swallows me whole,  
In the depths of desire, I'm drawn to your light,  
Passion's fierce pull, it takes such a toll.  

With every breath shared, we're drifting together,  
In third-degree kisses, time begins to sever.  
Your lips, a solar corona, burning so bright,  
An explosive dance, lost in cosmic flight.  

Yet here on the edge, where our dreams intertwine,  
Acceptance blooms softly, our souls' sweet design.  
Crossing the threshold, where gravity bends,  
In a universe painted, where love never ends.
I rolled into the city, neon lights so bright,  
Chasin’ dreams and promises, under the moonlight.  
But the bustling streets echoed with a hollow sound,  
Thought I’d found my fortune, but my heart was never found.  

Packed my bags for freedom, headed to the sand,  
Thought the desert breeze would help me understand.  
But it feels like a mirage, just a whisper in the night,  
Tangled in my shadows, no love in sight.  

Polysemous words, they mask the truth,  
Masquerading like friends, but they’re nothing but sleuths.  
Hiding the homographical ruse, can’t you see?  
Figuratively and literally, they’re landmines to me.  

Fake friends in the twilight, shadows that deceive,  
Promises like smoke, but it's hard to believe.  
Thought I’d find connection ‘neath the desert sun,  
But love’s a distant horizon that I’ll never outrun.  

Far from paradise, I'm lost in this game,  
Hoping for love, but it’s never the same.  
Indubitable intentions, but I’m driftin’ on my own,  
Dropped like a brick, my heart feels like a stone.  

Concrete dreams and desert schemes,  
Fading echoes of my shattered dreams.  
Far from paradise, I'm lost in this game,  
Hoping for love, but it’s never the same.  
Indubitable intentions, but I’m driftin’ on my own,  
Drop it like a brick, on my heart like a stone.  

Far from paradise, I'm lost in this game,  
Hoping for love, but it’s never the same.
In the long ago past, ancient timeline,  
We sailed the Seas of Love, your heart in mine.  
A maritime mirror shined bright like glass,  
Reflections of our dreams, a moment that would last.  
  
A cross reflection above the treeline,  
We carved our names deep, in the bark of time.  
Division between like a deep abyss,  
Yet here we stand, drawn together by bliss.  
  
Surface tension broken with just a touch,  
Stepping out onto on top of the brine,  
Moving minds; disturbing thoughts; did so much,  
The echoes of our past weave the fabric of the Divine.  
  
Passing beneath, under the overpass,  
After walking through a long dark tunnel's grasp.  
Finally reaching Critical Mass,  
Then rose up high, airborne in a Whirlwind so vast.  
  
Oh, the Winds of Fate, they carry us through,  
Destiny's Dance, it’s me and you.  
Don’t worry Child, you did it all just fine,  
In the Arms of Forever, our love will always shine.  
  
For you and I, forever we'll ride,  
Through the Tides of Time, side by side.  
Don’t worry Child, you did it all just fine,  
Our love is Eternal, an everlasting vine.

He gave his life: He died.
Rising Again, Revived; the Son Survived.
In the cupboard, where we’d hide,  
Whispered secrets, side by side.  
Days of laughter, nights of tears,  
You promised me, you'd always be near.  
  
Remember the night under the trees,  
We forgot our names, just butterflies and bees.  
You said forever, I felt the spark,  
Now I hold on in the dark.   
  
Destiny's Hand pulls so tight,  
Through the shadows, we chase the Light.  
Love won't fade when the clock runs cold,  
Even in death, our story's told.  
  
Oh baby sleeps, dreaming softly of,  
World Peace, Love, and Happiness,  
But I know Fate won't wait for us,  
In the cupboard, we dreamed of what’s above.  
  
So I'll keep dreaming, until The End,  
In the cupboard, where love won't bend.  
Death can't steal what we believe,  
Together forever, in dreams, we’ll weave.
In the twilight where the shadows creep,  
Love once held us, now we weep.  
Every heartbeat tells a tale of Fate,  
Intertwined in a world we create.  
But as the light fades, and the night calls,  
We ponder the moments before the final fall.  
  
Destiny's path led us to this door,  
Where love and death dance on the floor.  
With whispers of dreams that linger long,  
Can we find the strength to carry on?  
But do we? Do we still care?  
Knowing the answer, does anybody still care?  
We do! We do!  

In the Echoes of Time, we'll find the way,  
Will we? Will we still have time today?  
Robbing the hall clock, as moments fly,  
Will the Fiery Hell's Bells still chime?  
They will! They will!  
  
Can we? Can we still hear?  
Asking the question, can Everybody still Hear?  
We can! We can! 
  
May we? May we still go?  
Daring the odds, may Somebody still Show?  
He may! He may!  

Shall we? Shall we still dance?  
Taking the chance, shall the Children still Dance?  
They shall! They shall!  
  
So let’s raise our voices and embrace the night,  
In the dance with shadows, let Love ignite.  
Can we? Can we still hear?  
With every heartbeat, we hold each dear.  
We'll dance through the darkness, no fear in our hearts,  
For love is eternal, and never departs.  
They shall! They shall!  
They will! They will!  
We can! We can!  
Yes, we will!
In the shadowed halls where the whispers creep,  
A tale of love and loss runs deep.  
When Hearts collide with Destiny's Hand,  
What will you do? Where will you stand?  
A Vengeful Lover with fire in their eyes,  
Caught in a Dream where the Truth complies.  
  
When it's time to meet your deathly hallowed,  
The Hangman’s Noose, a path so shallow.  
With every heartbeat, the Ticking Clock,  
A Lethal Drip, a cold hard shock.  
In front of the Firing Squad, Love's cruel game,  
You’re not the only one to bear the blame.    
  
Should everybody Thank You or give you a Medal?  
Write your name on the Wall of Shame,  
You are Busted! Going Downtown,  
Serving time for a love gone insane.  
Now who? Who now do you serve,  
Fatefully tragic Twist of the Nerve?  
  
The Face of Death is hauntingly clear,  
An echo in silence, a sound we all fear.  
Furies edge near as you face the music,  
How do you breathe when the air turns putrid?  
  
What will you do? Where will you go?  
How will it be when the curtains close?  
What did you think was going to happen,  
When your Fate was sealed by a Love that's snappin'?  
  
What will you do? Where will you go?  
Facing the music in the afterglow.  
What will you do? Where will you go?  
When the Hangman's Noose sends you home.  
  
The Echoes of Love, forever they'll flow.  
When the end draws near, will you reap what you sow?
