Monster Of The Sky

From 'Manfred' by Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)

Love is worth pursuing
Through the burning wreck of a demolished world
Over mountain kings on thrones of rock
Through mansions in the clouds
On a starbeam I have ridden
Though my love may be forbidden
breath of twilight blows
How the longing grows

Love is intoxicating
Like the blue depths of the water
When the wind speaks
And echoes cross the waves
I have sailed rivers of time
To find you and make you mine
breath of twilight blows
How the feeling inside me grows

I am the rider of the wind
The stirrer of the storm
hurricane of rage
In human form
And now the hour has arrived
And this vow I renew
I am a monster of the sky
And I'm coming after you

Love is unrelenting
It burns deep
Like a slumbering earthquake
On a pillow of flame
I would burn over a thousand fires
For the object of my desire
breath of twilight blows
How this need inside me grows
