It was the sun whose jealousy brought the mortal's doom
It was she that shone just as bright, inside the realm of the moon
Despite her beauty, her scorn was great towards the shining light
"To drown upon the waves," said she, and to see inside the night
The graceful moonbeams had followed until the day invaded
All of the beautiful silvery light, those golden rays had hated
Envious and greedy, Arabellle was a victim of the bitter end
Should've known it would be tragic, should've seen what would've been...
With her long dark hair and lonely, lonely soul
Let's wonder over land and sea until we find we're old
She sings out in the darkness, always so pale and sadly
The sun looks daggers at her, while the moon will love her madly
Dragons and warlocks, she will weave her yarn of hope
Knowing that not even a spell could force them to let her go...
I had witnessed with my own eyes, all the wind couldn't say
Couldn't erase the truth I'd known, couldn't take it away
One fair maid who's grace could not be forgotten or old
Capturing the song with her voice, and a love no songbird could hold
Shadows chasing warlocks and wizards talking in whispers
They can't have the life she keeps and they miss her
If she was once forgotten, then all will forget the rage
The sun was jealous and greedy, the night couldn't wait...
He envied Arabellle, and his hostility spawned the storm
No one could ever see her vision and no one could mourn
So wise and so foolish to carry through all time
You danced and sang so easily, moving without regard to time
Temptation and madness drowned the world you sought
Left to die in shambles, shattered by the wars you fought
Your smiles turned to sorrow when you had to stand again
Knowing in your heart, some battles you'll never win...
