Once there was a flame so bright
It lit the world from dawn to night
He wore the sun upon his brow
And loved a girl he can't touch now
She lived where shadows held their breath
A moonlit soul in quiet depth
She rose when he began to fall
They shared the sky, but that was all

He chased her light, she followed slow
But time would never let them go

This is the tale of light and darkness
A love undone by sky and vastness
He burned, she bloomed, but not the same
A page that missed the other's name
They turned alone, by fate confined
Forever near, forever blind
Two hearts the world refused to pair
Light and darkness, always there

He watched her glide through stars at night
She watched him fade with morning's light
They never touched, they never spoke
But in their silence, something woke
He left her warmth in golden streams
She wrapped him gently in her dreams
Yet every time they reached the sky
The moment passed, and slipped them by

She called him bright, he called her free
But they were never meant to be

This is the tale of light and darkness
A truth that grew in quiet harshness
One soul of flame, one soul of shade
A bond that stars refused to braid
They watched, they waited, spun alone
Together once, but never home
Two names the heavens wouldn't share
Light and darkness, always there

And still they turn, and still they ache
For every dawn the stars won't break
But if one day the sky should bend
They'd meet again, not just pretend

So tell this tale when nights run long
Of sun and moon who loved so wrong
For love may live and never stay
When light and darkness lead the way
They loved, they lost, they always cared
But never more than what they dared
He shines, she fades, the sky won't spare
Light and darkness, always there
