Somewhere they reached across the lines to find their hearts entwined
And drew close in the hidden worlds between them
The places where it was dangerous to live and dangerous to dream

Yet they took a risk for what they felt
They wandered in the unknown, unafraid of what they faced

A seemingly simple plan to withstand the onslaught of opinions
The sneers and the glaring eyes which pierced theirs
To draw out the tears of fear and rage in an unforgiving age

Where cruel and simple men did again mock love and friend
And tried to ruin them and stop the hope of unwavering hearts

Yet even in the enemy camp, love embraces love
And holds that which desire longs for and what none can shield hatred from
When two hearts rise above the conflict to join as one

If this is true and so it has been; how is this, a greater trial?
If such people still found their way to be together
Then you and I can cross these barriers that separate us in awkward silence

These differences are illusions of conflicts
They are only shadows of what has already been fought
And when the battlefield was empty
The flag flying still, was this love
