One Kiss
Music by Varg Hellhammer, for Gorsedd 1102
I didn't know that with one breath
You could wish for life then wish for death,
I didn't know love could feel like this,
Living, or dying, just for one kiss.
I didn't know love would feel this way,
Longing for night, then longing for day,
Hours counted by time spent apart,
Hours together kept locked in the heart.
I didn't know that sickness and pain
Went with love like black clouds with rain,
Nobody said it would feel like this,
Living and dying in hopes of one kiss.
I didn't know that words merely kind
Could sear my heart and sear my mind,
No-one said dreaming of future days
Would hurt in a hundred thousand ways.
I didn't know love was like knives,
Cutting and tearing through peoples' lives,
I didn't know it would feel like this,
Living, dying, for want of one kiss.
