lyrics

Planet my love
I know that we’re dying
Your rivers run empty
My air fades away

Our children retreat
Into your deepest havens
Your surface lies barren
’Neath the sun’s deadly rays

The pain in my heart
The sorrow I feel
The dread separation
This grief is too real

But I can’t regret
The moment I found you
The joy of our union
In eternity bound

Fairness, beauty, compassion - the province of good mortal beings
The universe cares not for its children who wait for its pitiless sting

But we made a gift unto heaven
Our love, precious and free
As we fade to oblivion
Love is our victory

Planet my love
I join you in dying
There’s no greater glory
Than to share our last day

So let us embrace
As we walk through this door
Though our life here is over
Our love will yet live... forevermore
