There once was a girl who lived in a valley
surrounded by mountains
and she had no name.
Her life was Secluded
some would call it Lonley
others say Relaxing
and more mark it Plain.

Up in the mountains
there was a small cabin
and here lived a woodsman
and he had no name.
His life was Secluded
some would call it Empty
others say Fufilling
and more mark it Tame.

As the girl in the valley
went about her business
the man in the mountains
he watched her each day.
Their lives were Secluded
with only one knowing
there existed a Kindred
Soul here in this place.

One day while the girl in the valley was forging
for Nessesties to see her through the day
the man in the mountains
he saw her fall Striken
and soon from his high rocky Home
was away.

The man in the valley
he found his Obession
knelt by her side
and saw her face was grey
two wounds on her ankle
and a distant slith'ring
the sound of a snake
taking the Dream away.

But the man he won't have it!
The snake's not his Master
sets lips to her skin
takes the Poison away.
The Fate the snake's planning
these two they will Share it
Living or Dying
it's really the same.

He feels the Blood boiling
the Poison constricting
and falls to the valley
beside where she lay
reaches her Heartbeat
feels it is Fading
and knows in his ribs
that his own is the same.

As Darkness encroaches
the wind in the valley
blows out to the mountains
and on to the bay
over the ocean
and up to the heavens
spreading the Word
of the snake's foul play.

Upon returning
the wind finds its people
staying so still on the ground where they lay.
Wraps itself round them
and carries them Homeward
the man to his cabin
the girl far away.

Three quiet days later
the man he Awakens
runs out to the plateu
to see she is the same.
But the girl she is Missing
the valley is Empty
she's off in her Homeland
and no longer remains.

The man climbs the mountains
up on past the treeline
and over the snowdrifts
he's going Insane.
'pon reaching the peak
the man he falls down Striken
Cold slowly taking
his Life away.

The wind in the valley
blows on up the mountain
and finds the man freezing
in that lifeless place.
Blows over the ocean
and on to her Homeland
finds her standing, staring
out over the bay.

Her thoughts they are with him
the unknown savior
her life is Secluded
her Thoughts they have changed.
Wraps itself round this
the wind brings this to him
and warming his Soul
killing frost melts away.

He returns down the mountain
back into his cabin
His Homeland
the place that had held him before.
His life is Secluded
but on every full moonrise
returns to the peak
looks out over the bay.

His thoughts they are with her
the distant Correction
that wards off the Cold
that still wants him today.

Their lives are Secluded
it won't soon be changing
their Thoughts on the Future
Accept and Delay.
Some would call it Folly
others say Romantic
and more mark it Blase.

What's said doesn't matter
she's caught his Obsession
they both know the Truth
of what happened that day.
Their Hearts in the Future
That bay it is finite
and when the Time comes
they will cross it Someday.
