A thousand lips unkissed
No hope of love shall bring me
A thousand words unspoken
Can never unveil untold secrets of my heart
A thousand clues undiscovered
The enigma never demystifies
Yet in a thousand songs unsung,
My only hope of beauty
Beauty surreal
Unpersonified
Feeding my soul
Haunting my mind
In this ancient, sacred grove
Accept my gift tonight
Gatekeeper, Songweaver
Bring my song to life
A thousand lips unkissed
No hope of love shall bring me
A thousand words unspoken
Can never unveil untold secrets of my heart
A thousand clues undiscovered
The enigma never demystifies
Yet in a thousand songs unsung,
My only hope of beauty
