We were meant to be gods
We were meant to own the sky
                                  shake the Earth with our breath
                                  carry oceans in our tears
                                  conquer kingdoms with a single shot
We were meant to soar above even the brightest stars
 
But they plucked the ambrosia from my lips
and they sucked the divinity from your name
and they cast us out like original sin out of Eden
and they left us here 
     bare-handed
     in socked feet
     with wounded hearts and mortal sins
     and the last enchanted dewdrop still clinging to our hair
 
So I sank down to hell
        made playmates with the fallen devils
        learned how to stay warm by the heat of hellfire
 
So you leapt into the sky
             made warmates with the fallen stars
             learned how to fly by the trail of a dying comet
 
So you resurrected me with your poisoned lips
and I breathed your name back to life
and we built ourselves up from the depth of this cursed land
     brick by brick
     bone by bone
     breath by breath
     sin by ghostly sin
 
And one day, my love, 
we will reach up into the heavens
and bring down their castle in the clouds
and leave them as they left us:
     bare-handed
     in socked feet
     with wounded hearts and immortal sins
     and the last enchanted dewdrop still clinging to their hair
 
One day, my love, 
we will be 
what d e s t r o y e d the gods.
