With a kiss of pure steel I pierce the skin

With a wish it sinks within

With the red of your blood and the red of mine

Its flesh SHALL stain as wine

Our love is greater than we two

And stonger than our lives

And though our bodies may decay

Our love will survive

With threads of pure silk and scarlet in hue

I join, in love, we two

Your life you have offered freely to me

And mine I give to thee

The Earth shall hold our lovers wish

And keep it from the day

And as the soil grows richer now

My Love, it shall stay
