Heaven Is Calm

To-night,
Heaven is calm.

For a long time,
The fire of love
Awakened us.

Never seeing the cloud,
that we should despair
in our ecstasy.

Now as our world
crumbles around us,
Do we see truth.

The evil that lurked 
in the shadows,
silently destorying us.

Trapped between heaven and hell,
our love was weakened,
and the fire changed.

Burning in us, 
the rage we thought
could never be.

But to-night,
Heaven is Calm.
