Beast:

Remember the first dance we shared,

recall the night you melted my ugliness away.

The night you left with a kiss so kind,

only a scent of beauty left behind.

Beauty:

Ah dear friend, I remember the night,

the moon and the dreams we shared.

Your trembling paw in my hand,

dreaming of that northern land.

Touching me

with a kiss of a beast!

Beast:

I know my dreams are made of you,

of you and only for you.

Your ocean pulls me under,

your voice tears me asunder.

Love me before

the last petal falls.

Beauty:

As a world without a glance

of the ocean's fair expanse.

Such the world would be,

if no love did flow in thee.

But as my heart is occupied,

your love for me now has to die.

Forgive me, I need more than

you can offer me.

Beast:

Didn't you read the tale,

where happily ever after

was to kiss a frog?

Don't you know this tale

in which all I ever wanted,

I'll never have,

for who could ever

learn to love a beast?

Beauty:

However cold the wind and rain,

I'll be there to ease all your pain.

However cruel the mirrors of sin,

remember beauty is found within.

Beast:

Forever shall the wolf in me

desire the sheep in you.
