FIRE AND WATER

Above ground, twenty thousand feet 
The taste of love came bittersweet 
When silver wings faded at night 
Heaven and earth fell at first sight 

The fiery flame was tamed for first 
It's like water has quenched its thirst 
The wounded heart with swollen scars 
Was roused by beam of thousand stars 

A beauty with a charm unmatched 
The iron heart came deeply touched 
Forbidden love at sight was born 
A childhood pledge was gravely torn 

The charming grace was also struck 
Blame it to the mischief of luck 
And like water in frost of snow 
The fire gave the heat to flow 

From meet and greet to night time love 
A dance under the stars above 
And at the light of shining morn 
Two loving hearts were bound and sworn 

But test of time was fiery fierce 
It was like rain of countless spears 
The childhood pledge just could not die
From where the reins of power lie 

The fierce fire was forced to ride
With threats of thunder by his side 
A childhood pledge was forced fulfilled 
But his heart looked on distant field 

There, the fruit of love was brewing 
And gust of true love was spewing 
But the threat of thunder was true 
His heart was caught in red and blue 

And so for his sweet seed to live 
He thought he had a life to give 
Just when the fruit of love was born 
The breath that gave its life was torn 

But thoughts of him lived forever 
In her heart, they're like together 
And as the hands of time went through 
She wore his ring of love that's true
