Passion and Pain
written ~August 1998Blood and tears,
we are all as one
Without the other, we cannot live
Passion and pain, joy and grief
Passion and pain, both we must give
Wisdom comes in two colors, black and White
Just cause it's good doesn't mean it's right
Chorus:
Passion and pain
Passion and pain
Without one or the other
We can't be the same
The sword of
Death, Evil, Destruction
The dark Lord's unholy abduction
Look deep inside, redemption you see
As well as deciet, hate, and dishonesty
Is it worth the cost, your self-respect?
For the gift of freedom you will collect
Now you're free of all worry, free of the flood
But now you're a nothing, robbed of your own blood
Chorus:
The Sword of
Light, Althena, Goddess of Love
It's beauty glows into the heavens above
Purity, seduction so wonderful and gay
Impossible it seems to stare away
But a sword such as this is a symbol of war
An unholy shedding of blood and of gore
Love conquers all, it is truth to say
But it comes in a form not of the Blade
Chorus:
Now slash your
right eye, fill it with pain
Blood falls from the wound as if it were rain
From the left eye, flows the passion of tears
Shed for the cost of so many lost years
The blood and the tears mingle, give birth
To the true hope of our new Earth.
Chorus:
