Analysis of The Gift Of The Goddess



My thoughts, my dreams have all but disappear
I thought through silent sacrifice
I would come to find you.
The Gift Of The Goddess, everlasting, ever pure
Hath granted me one wish, one request
I need it not, fore you are here with me.
Barren of all hopes, of all dreams
Nothing could forstall my return to you
All I left now is all yours.
This is my silent sacrifice,
And with it the sea, the wind, the sky
They now belong to you
Because you were mine, you were my gift from the goddess.
