Help with book titles?

I'm writing a story basically about the light and dark sides fighting, and a chick from the light side falls in love with the dark side leader, yada yada, cliche, whatever. I need a snazzy title though. The light side are called the Saints, and the dark are members of the Void, if it helps. Something short, only a few words, that'll fit on a cover edit.

Also, it's medieval fantasy, so nothing modern. Key points: light, dark(ness), something about romance, Void, Saints, ect.

Thanks much.

Update:

Something about music might not be bad either, y'know, thinking about Phantom of the Opera and that kind of thing. POTO is a HUGE inspiration, so think about music and darkness and night.

    Pro writer here, with a pro's tip:

    Write the story first. Trying to figure out the perfect title first just gives you permission to not work on it. You just put "Insert Amazing Title Here" at the top and cut loose.

    This gives your subconscious permission to do the heavy lifting. Writers depend on theirs to do that sort of work, I know I have.

    Gone With the Wind didn't get it's perfect title until long after it sold to the publisher. A Kick-A title won't put a story over, good writing does.

    So "Insert A.T.H." and be awesome.
