Now ripped apart in disarray
A town turned from heavens gate
to the blackest pit of hell
A wandering boy turned from innocent
to the spoiled core of a rotten fruit
A couple so pure they lit the night
turned to a pair of mourning ghosts
An island once a tropical paradise
transformed into a howling rock of loss
Named for the happiness that once flowed
that place quickly lost all illusion
A monster wanders sad and listless
A couple circle each other in vain
A village huddles together for warmth
An island that never sees a morning
But this world and this isle
has never and will never be static
For upon the faces of those once loving souls
Tears flowed like april rain upon the marked ground
And where those pearls of lost love landed
Shards of exquisite crystal grew
They were love in its purest form
Glowing and growing to fight endless night
Those tears of love gone cold
were not the only ones shed upon the island
A beast wandered opposite those lovers
For he could not face them
Even a murderer feels the knife
Even a beast can feel regret
The tears that matted his fur
boiled hotter then pain each victim felt
What came to life from his mourning
as trees of steel and iron
Each one a promise etched into the landscape
A resolve that took root in the very land
And as the wronger and wronged circled the land
They both found hope ahead of them
The lovers found strength in metal leaves
In death they were still alive together
The monster found love in gentle light
A love that did not question his wild ways
So the island changed from paradise to fairytale
With a tragic twist for illustration
The town starved upon the shore
For love and promises cannot feed a family
They fled to sea for their fortunes sake
and left behind a paradise turned rotten
But the island still grew stranger and stranger
for the inhabitants could not leave
Bound together by webs of hate and lust
Yet still in love with hope and dreams
Once upon a twice visited island
All reason sailed away
