St. Stephen's Cross
Unforgettable Night: Love Amidst History's Unfurling
Lyrics
He was there the night the wall came down.
He witnessed the fall of the Berlin Wall.
He lost her in the endless crowd,
He lost his companion in the vast crowd.
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross.
The separation occurred near St. Stephen's cross, a symbolic location.
He sent cries aloft for his fellow man,
He expressed distress for humanity during the event.
His fingers slipping from her hand,
His grip on her hand weakened.
The rain clouds prowling overhead.
Metaphorical rain clouds represented emotional turbulence.
She was there the night the wall came down.
She also witnessed the wall's fall.
She faded into that newborn crowd
She merged into the newly formed crowd, symbolizing change.
Like a warning of what could be lost.
Her presence served as a warning about potential losses.
Through the perforated night she ran,
She ran through the perforated night, suggesting transformation.
Her fingers slipping from his hand,
Her connection with him weakened as their fingers slipped apart.
And she breathed in freedom
She experienced a taste of freedom.
Before daylight tread.
Freedom was felt before the arrival of daylight.
They were there the night the wall was drowned
Both were present during the wall's collapse.
In the surging of that tidal crowd:
The crowd symbolized a transformative force.
An old world made new
An old world was replaced by a new one on sacred ground.
On the same holy ground.
They shared the experience on the same holy ground.
She found him standing, looking lost
She found him, lost in thought, near St. Stephen's cross.
In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross,
He closed his eyes, perhaps overwhelmed, hearing only her breath.
And he closed his eyes and heard no sound
No external sound, emphasizing the intimate moment.
But her breathing warm against his mouth.
Her warm breath against his mouth symbolized closeness and connection.
