(Verse 1) In days of old in tales untold, A story woven deep; Amidst the land of faith and gold, A secret we shall keep. The town so poor, on gates they swore, Their lives in disarray; A beacon came, a dog of fame, A priest in fur's display. (Chorus) Oh, hark, the canine priest shall sing, In holy robes adorned; A lesson of the heart to bring, Where love shall be reborn. For in her strife, the maiden's life Was loveless, cold, and bleak; But now she'll learn as passions churn, The truth of love she'll seek. (Verse 2) The woman fair with raven hair, Her heart encased in ice; She dared not dream, nor love redeem, Bound by her own device. Her sorrow ran like rivers span, As hollow as the mist; But then arrived the dog so wise, A priest she could not resist. (Chorus) Oh, hark, the canine priest shall sing, In holy robes adorned; A lesson of the heart to bring, Where love shall be reborn. In sacred trust, their bond robust, A journey to embark; The priestly dog, to love he thawed, The heart that once was stark. (Bridge) "Be not afraid," the dog priest said, "The path of love is clear; Embrace the joys and face the dread, And all that you hold dear." The maiden wept, her secrets kept, No longer they must hide; For love is grand, like shifting sand, A treasure found inside. (Verse 3) The fire glowed, as stories flowed, Their bond grew strong and true; And she was blessed, no longer pressed, Her love a sweet debut. The priestly dog, his mind a log, With wisdom did he share; No greater gift did he befit, Than love of which they cared. (Chorus) Oh, hark, the canine priest shall sing, In holy robes adorned; A lesson of the heart to bring, Where love shall be reborn. For love's embrace, throughout all space, Is ageless and divine; Within her heart, he shared his art, Their fates forever twined. (Outro) And so the tale, shall never fail, To warm our hearts anew; A dog priest proud, his love avowed, Their song forever true.
