<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Hundred men they were<br>
As they set out to fight<br>
For their country's banner in distant, foreign lands<br>
He bid her farewell<br>
A love still young and green<br>
She thought she'd soon be in his arms again<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
He told her:"Await my safe return.<br>
Trust in this last promise and stand firm<br>
Once moonlight shines red onto the seas<br>
We shall return in victory."<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
They marched off, blue banners in the sky<br>
And teardrops were running from her eyes<br>
Yet she thought: "If only I believe,<br>
Time will bring him safely back to me."<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
When the red moon casts its light<br>
His ghost travels through the night<br>
Through the forests on wind's wings<br>
Until he reaches the old hill<br>
There she kneels before his grave<br>
Where their love had once been born<br>
And he caresses her face<br>
Yet she feels not his embrace<br>
Dark and red glows the winter sky<br>
Two souls divided by the threads of time<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Days turned into weeks<br>
Moon for moon passed by<br>
Yet no word from the battlefields arrived<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Months turned into years<br>
Peace now ruled the lands<br>
Empty graves were dug under the sky<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
But never did she doubt his last oath<br>
Each night she stepped out into the cold<br>
She walked through the forest, climbed the hill<br>
Where she had once sworn her love for him<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
And always, when summer bid goodbye<br>
And moonlight blood-red fell from the sky<br>
His ghost raised from dust-forgotten bones<br>
Searching for what he had lost too soon<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
When the red moon casts its light<br>
His ghost travels through the night<br>
Through the forests on wind's wings<br>
Until he reaches the old hill<br>
There she kneels before his grave<br>
Where their love had once been born<br>
And he caresses her face<br>
Yet she feels not his embrace<br>
Dark and red glows the winter sky<br>
Two souls divided by the threads of time<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Decades had gone by; her hair ashen and thin<br>
Realms had fallen, war and dead forgotten<br>
When she walked the streets, they said that she was damned<br>
A victim to a past long gone and rotten<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Yet still she did not care for their words<br>
When night came she prayed for his return<br>
Each fall, when cold winds haunted the lands<br>
She hoped to once again hold his hand<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
And as her last sunset drew close by<br>
She lingered forgotten in the night<br>
The moon's light shines bright upon her face<br>
She's waiting as her life fades away<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; font-weight: bold; ">
When the red moon casts its light<br>
His ghost travels through the night<br>
Through the forests on wind's wings<br>
Until he reaches the old hill<br>
There she kneels before his grave<br>
Where their love had once been born<br>
And as she closes her eyes<br>
A ray of light breaks through the sky<br>
And her skin turns into dust<br>
As her soul breaks from its shell<br>
And she joins him in the sky:<br>
Two shapes now freed from grief and time<br>
Then the winds take them away<br>
Through the woods, it's trees asway<br>
And she takes him by his hand<br>
At last, in peace they find their end<br>
Dark and red glows the winter sky<br>
Two souls divided by the threads of time<br>
</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 2em; break-inside: avoid; ">
Dark and red glowed the winter sky<br>
Two souls united by the threads of time<br>
</div>
