I am the Land and the Sea, for you make me as such
I am the Heaven and the Earth, for you give me this much
You are my Lord, my only Lover, and dearest Keeper
We are the Greatest of Loves, as together it grows deeper

You are the Feet that walk upon my Land
Planting the seed and toiling the dirt with your hands
You are the one who reaps the harvest in the season
You have the power to bring the rain or sun for this reason

You are the Angel who flies in my Heaven
With your wings of gold, again and again
Your precious body there to lead the right way
An instrument of peace if I should stray

You are the Ship who sails upon my Sea
Bold and beautiful, as the wind that blows so free
You bear the burden, against all odds
To come back to me like a sacred God

You are the Warrior that fights upon my Earth
Sword in hand as for only me do you serve
You are the Knight in armor of silver and black
For the price of honor, you would never turn your back

I am your Queen, as your are my Lord
Our love reaches far to the distant shores
Bound by destiny to serve this hold
When we came forth, from this earth so cold

You hold my Heart, for you are me Keeper
Always there if the road should grow steeper
If I were to weep, you would be there to guide
To comfort me and never leave my side

You are my Husband, my Friend and only Lover
I shall never want for another
Joined together in life to be your partner on the throne
I know I will never be alone

We are the Ones with the Greatest of Loves
Two souls intertwined with blessings from above
The bards will perform in our memory tomorrow
And their voices will sing in joy, never in sorrow.
