(Verse 1)
The velvet curtain draws, the music starts to play
A fragile waltz begins, at the closing of the day
Two shadows step into the light, with hesitant, wide eyes
One wears the gown of Love, the color of the skies.
The other cloaked in black, with edges sharp and keen,
We call this stark companion, the ever-present Pain.
They bow to one another, a strange and solemn grace,
Preparing for the turning that defines this human space.
(Chorus)
Oh, this rhapsody of thorns and roses, a fever in the soul,
A dizzying, desperate ballet, that takes its heavy toll.
We reach out for the warmth, the light that makes us whole,
But every tender grasp is countered by the sting, beyond control.
It's the dance between the breaking and the mending, eternally,
The secret rhythm that dictates the human heart's decree.
(Verse 2)
Love offers out a hand, a promise whispered low,
A future built on sunlight, where only good things grow.
Pain pulls the other way, a sudden, jarring halt,
Reminding us of fissures, the fault lines and the salt.
They spin in perfect union, a pattern known by heart,
The tighter Love embraces, the harder Pain will start
To squeeze the breath right out of us, a lesson learned too well:
That to unlock true Heaven, you first must know a Hell.
(Chorus)
Oh, this rhapsody of thorns and roses, a fever in the soul,
A dizzying, desperate ballet, that takes its heavy toll.
We reach out for the warmth, the light that makes us whole,
But every tender grasp is countered by the sting, beyond control.
It's the dance between the breaking and the mending, eternally,
The secret rhythm that dictates the human heart's decree.
(Bridge)
Some say Love is blind, some say Pain is cruel,
But look at how they move together, breaking every rule.
They need the other's presence to justify their might,
Love cannot be fully known without the darkness of the night.
And Pain's sharp edge is dulled, if no bright thing exists,
A beautiful contradiction within this constant tryst.
(Verse 3)
The music swells, they quicken now, a whirlwind on the floor,
Love dips down low in sorrow, Pain begs her to explore
The cracks where light can enter, the strength that comes from scar,
The quiet understanding of exactly who we are.
And when the final note is struck, and they stand far apart,
They see they've carved a masterpiece, etched deep within the heart.
(Outro)
They hold their weary gaze... knowing they will meet again.
Love and Pain... Amen.
They'll meet again.
(Fade out)
