Mark's Ballad

Once there was a boy, that lived in Arizona,
The boys name was Mark, and he had a cello named Bob,
His bow would slide across the strings of the cello named Bob,
And make the most beautiful music,
He was born with only half a soul,
The other was two thousand miles away,
The half a soul I bear in me,
Is his other half alone,
Two souls combined, whist the music play,
Two souls combined, our hearts will stay,
As the horsehairs slide across the metal strands of the cello,
The music seems to grow louder and louder,
Soon the souls will meet,
And make the most beautiful music,
One plays the Violin, named Mark,
As the other plays the cello named Bob,
Two souls, one be mine,
That is his other half alone,
Two souls combined, whist the music play,
Two souls combined, our hearts will stay,
I was born in Scorpio,
He was born in Aquarious,
The Wind and Water mixing together,
Making a true song,
Brothers we happen to be,
Even though our bloodlines won't match,
Brothers we happen to be,
Our souls of half make one,
Two souls combined, whist the music play,
Two souls combined, our hearts will stay,
One day we shall both leave our castles,
One day, we shall build our own,
And within these two castles,
We shall share our home,
I shall play the Violin,
He shall play the Cello,
Our duet shall become a solo,
As our souls meet at last,
Two souls combined, whist the music play,
Two souls combined, our hearts will stay,
As our timelines move into be one,
Our lifes shall be fixed,
Our emotions combined,
Our strength combined,
Into a force no one could break,
He is my brother,
I am his brother,
Our souls two in the same,
Not our bloodlines not our names,
Two souls combined, whist the music play,
Two souls combined, our hearts will stay,
No one shall harm us,
No one shall care,
For I quote, "I will be your armor."
And he shall quote, "I will be your Shield"
Together we vow, "To take away the pain we feel."
I quote, "I will be your armor."
He quotes, "I will be your light."
Together we will make it through the darkest night.
Two souls combined, whist the music play,
Two souls combined, our hearts will stay,
Two souls combined, whist the music play,
Two souls combined, until the last day.
The End.
