Don't be Afraid, my Lover,
Don't be Afraid, my Friend.
Things are just beginning for us now,
It only looks like we're near the end.

The First is coming! It's filling the Sky!
We both know what we have to do.
It's time for us to take that really Big Step...
...and just us alone...the Chosen Two.

And where we're going, I've already been; 
I am eager to return.
Come with me now, my only Beloved,
And the Redemption you desire will finally be earned.

I know you're scared; hey, I am as well.
But because of what we do today,
Those that come after us will be able to see the Sun,
Dance in the grass...sing...and play.

The System has been broken,
It has been for quite a while.
But in a moment or two...all will be fixed,
As the both of us go out in Style.

Let us join hands, my Love,
With me in my Lace and you in your Leather.
There will be a Flash and a moment of Pain...
...and then we'll be together...

...Forever...

The End
