I hear your breath across this great emptiness
Our whispering souls entwined in darkness
Aching for the others rapturous embrace
Why must our undying love endure such cruelty
Our hearts entangled within this evil web
How do we free each other but by saying goodbye
Never to touch the other
Only our hearts and souls can communicate
leaving our minds in confusion
If only to be free from this masquerade
And free our whispering souls from torment
