In the darkness of eternity
In the space that feels forever
All the love I have
I give to you
On time's journey to infinity
Our hearts will be bound together
Howl to the second land, you'll find it's true
That all the love I have I give to you
And all across the universe
Where each new star will burn for us
The path I take with you
Will have nowhere like a circle
I believe love fills the emptiness
Binds the moon and stars together
Each fresh kiss begins a world new
And all the love I have
I give to you
Howl to the second land, you'll find it's true
That all the love I have I give to you
And all across the universe
Where each new star will burn for us
The path I take with you
Will have nowhere like a circle
I believe love fills the emptiness
Binds the moon and stars together
Each fresh kiss begins a world new
And all the love I have
I give to you
Howl to the second land, you'll find it's true
