A Morilantan Love Song

[Kender Bard]

My dear, you look lovely this night,
Dressed in layers of black and gold.
Oh, how you'll stun everyone you pass,
With your beauty, grace, and class.

And tonight you'll hang from my arm
To show them all that we are one.
We'll sweep the ball with our waltz,
Steal the night, not to be outdone.
I'll savor each moment of this event,
Until we slip away with the rising sun.

And I'll pray, oh how I'll pray,
That we weather another night
And together see another day
Side by side, two as one.
Darling, you set my heart alight;
This is my confession.

I'll put away the knife once more
Shun the cold kiss of the steel
For the warmth of your caress
And an emotion we can only feel.

Do you hide away your poison
As night fades away to dawn?
Do you pause, hoping as I do,
That our alliance continues on?

And I'll pray, oh how I'll pray,
That we weather another night
And together see another day
Side by side, two as one.
Darling, you set my heart alight;
This is my confession.

It's a dangerous game that we play;
One false step is all required to betray
The hidden agenda of my heart's yearning.
But dear, in this dance, we'll keep on turning.
Until one of us grows weary of the shame.

And I prayed, oh how I prayed
That this day could be averted
I did all I could, but I'm afraid
In this affair there was but one end.
Our love is forbidden, perverted.

But for what it's worth
As you're lowered in earth
My tears will be genuine.
My heart heavy with depression,
This is my confession.
