Verona's Walls Lyrics

Moonlight falls on my face, and I look towards home.
Stars embrace, I see her face, painted in their glow.
One star in the sky for each tear.

Outcast, on my own, running for salvation,
They've stolen her, body and soul, professing my damnation.

Stars guide my way home. Shadows hide me this day.
Her touch, my only truth, their words can't keep me away.

Break through these chains inside Verona's walls.
She waits, always inside Verona's walls.

Murder was my crime, but only to protect her.
Death for life, now life of death - banishment for all time.

Ancient feuds take their toll. Greed, power, lust, all for control.
I'll save her from this decay. Salvation for her steers my way.

Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! And, lips,
O you the doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss.*

Life alone means nothing at all. The stars fade only to fall.
My blood flows through her heart, her breath fills up my soul.

Break through these chains inside Verona's walls.
She waits, always inside Verona's walls.

(Text by William Shakespeare)
