Under the midnight blue sky,
Into the sea of green.
Sailing the wind-swept currents
A tale of love never seen.

A kiss beneath soft lamplights,
They take a breath of air.
A dance beneath the moonlight,
Sailing without a care.

A love left uncompleted,
A child born in tears,
A rugged, unyielding passion,
It was a romance that spanned five years.

He held her in his arms,
And said that 'I am yours,'
And when he left at sunrise,
She'd give her life for one night more.

Bring me into the twilight,
And sing me a sweet song,
His arms they were her shelter,
And he could do no wrong.

With child he had left her,
A secret she would hide,
Sadly, the crew were not with her,
They were on the bosun's side.

'Mama, please don't hurt me,'
The four year-old did cry.
Held beneath the water,
Where she was left to die.

The tears rolled down her face,
Dripped down on golden sands.
Where her child was buried,
A grave tunnelled by her own hands.

A torment and a torture,
A grief she'd never known.
To this day she waits to tell him,
But far on the sea he roams.

Once more a story about my two pirates, Lilana Annabella Fletcher, and Rafael Salvadore. About their romance and the resulting tragedy that caused Lily to murder her own baby.
