I take your hand;
and lead you to the pyre.
This is our last dance;
and that to which we aspire.
To merge our souls
within this sacred fire;
to sacrifice our separateness
and quench our one desire.
And now we stand,
at the doorway to then end.
Ancient lover, I worship thee.
And now we dance,
through the doorway to then end.
Ancient lover, I worship thee.
You lay down beside me,
as we reach our vowed demise.
You breathe against my breath,
and dream of endless time.
Our spirits become naked,
as our flesh is cast aside.
Making love, we meld as one;
and transcend all funeral rites.
Touching you this way,
I am like the wind.
You reach for the end of the sky.
Kissing me this way,
you are like the rain.
I reach for the end of the sky.
