The Snow White Dove

Fourteen years she gave him her love Little children laughing at the snow white dove Reflecting an image so soft and sweet But the mirror lies then it cuts your feet Closing out reality The reflection blinded her, then she drowned in the raging sea Imagining for all love of life She was just a prisoner titled his wife Now will she fake her separation from the cobra's beast Now the wishless heart will feast Love me not she screamed in vain Inside there was nothing but a salty grain Fruitless heart for the dove He was blind and now he lost her love Forever his heart will be caste in pain You should have never began to perceive Now the snow white dove must leave Whispering her name out loud Now the angels stole the shroud What was the word he meant to say "love" Oh, love is too late today For the hour has begun to sleep Now the angel has begun to weep Should our souls start to pray Not anymore, he can not stay Pulling him down into the lost depths I heard a voice telling me a year ago Telling me the dove would intercept the hail of the blinding snow God please guide her and make her warm Shelter her from the darkness of the storm Take our dove and sit her upon a golden lark Snowy white radiant beauty of a bird Now imprisoned where her song is never heard He took her soul, he took her life He should have loved her, she was his wife Her heart must not remain unknown Please dear god don't leave the snow white dove alone
