Lightning ripped and clothes were torncast down onto a glistening sand belowAs the shouts and the calls from the village that spurned themnow burned them at their moonlit backsA gentle touch on each others facethat was the only truth that either would obeyA smiling nod and a tear was feltas they embrace for one last time this dayThe sound of baying crowds barking closer as torchlight crossed the beachno more would words curse them, forever more out of reachAnd they crashed through midnight waves and they basked in the full moon's raysHand in hand over lilting swells, far from an angry shoreAnd they sang « we don't give a damn, about your gods or your rules,no man or god will ever know, what we feel to be true »They say « the love we have will see us burn in hell.But hell is our hearts apart so we strike out through the swell »She sang « My love for love will never fade away.It will burn as the sun in the heart of the day »She replied « A stor, you have my heart.No more will they beat us or keep us apart.The only words I'll listen to is the singing of your heart.Run with me tonight and we'll leave this all behind »And the stars sing sweetly for the lovers pounding heartsas they closed their eyes and sank beneath the pitching darkAnd in the fading lights they kissed into the depths they swayedtheir bones in peace would lie together to the end of daysAnd they sang « we don't give a damn, about your gods or your rules,no man or god will ever know, what we feel to be true »They say « the love we have will see us burn in hell.But hell is our hearts apart so we strike out through the swell »She sang « My love for love will never fade away.It will burn as the sun in the heart of the day »She replied « A stor, you have my heart.No more will they beat us or keep us apart.The only words I'll listen to is the singing of your heart.Run with me tonight and we'll leave this all behind »And they sang « we don't give a damn, about your gods or your rules,no man or god will ever know, what we feel to be true »They say « the love we have will see us burn in hell.But hell is our hearts apart so we strike out through the swell »
