For me the present moment's pale and thin
I want the depth of centuries unknown
To be your ever, always, be your own
Where history ends and fantasies begin

I'd trace the past and future on your skin
And love you deep inside, down to the bone
Oh let me bend and kneel before your throne
And live a love too secret to be sin

But you know better, Gwen, you always said
Dark Ages are more deadly than they seem
For witches, dark-skinned beauties, dykes who dream

Maybe this castle's only in my head
But here, with me, you'll always reign supreme
So leave the past, live in my voice instead
