I was with you when you died.
I created myself, words incarnate,
joined you in defeat
and gave you victory.
Everything dies.
All must come to dust.
We exchanged sacrifice
when you kissed my lips,
drew death from my mouth,
and all that you were passed away.
But I bring life.
You came to me and were, in me,
Regenerate.
.
Fresh life, fresh face,
you ventured out once more
to touch life:
all the new, new worlds,
all the strange, strange creatures;
to make monsters fear you,
win battles, win hearts.
You dance the song of freedom.
.
Our dance is the eternal round.
You are fire and the sun,
while I am darkness and the womb.
If you are Lord of Time,
then I am Lady of Infinite Space,
and all your journeys are in me.
.
While you have lived strange lives,
I have held your soul in my safekeeping,
and whispered guiding words
to bring you home.
All songs must end.
At the end of time
you sacrifice yourself once more
to your appointed fate
and, when your life is spent,
you come to me to give you rest
and be reborn.
