Love To Ashes, Love Arises

There was a time when everything was dark
In my life, and i was a man who had nothing
To live for, until i met you
Everything just reversed itself, it changed my life completely

I felt compelled to do every little thing for you
I could never say no to anything you said, and
I could never tell you that you couldn't do this
Or that, and everything was wonderful, peaceful
And nothing felt like it could tear us apart

We were invincible, a wall of hard rock that could
Never be carved into, and never be broken
The love we made was so pure that it shot me away
Into a world of pleasure, its beautiful aroma sent shivers down
My spine as we constantly sent our vibes of love through each other

All was right and all was well, there was nothing that
Could stop me from loving you, and well
I was wrong to think that when i saw you with that
Other man, and my heart sunk to the floor
The tears from my eyes felt like acid upon my cheeks
Burning my flesh and destroying my soul
Ripping apart every bit i love i ever had for you
I could never imagine this happening, and yet
Right in front of my eyes there it was, and i couldn't help
But shriek in emotional pain and run to you

Screaming in your face i asked for an
Explanation for this horror i saw before me
I cried so much, i could've dehydrated from the tears
And with the same grief inside she broke down in front
Of me, and one part of me wanted to take you outside
And console you, and calmly ask you, so that
None of this broke out to a point where one of us
Might die

And another part of me wanted to take you by the neck
And tear your appendages apart till all that was left
Was a lifeless corpse, squirming on the floor till
It collapsed and died in front of me
But that, i thought to myself, would be just sick
And i erased it from my brain

She apologized, a million times i thought
And my love took over again
I felt the love to forgive her, despite the
Blackened sting inside from that vision
Of her with that stranger

Now, together again, i see this light shining from our
Bodies joined together hand in hand
It was oh so true, nothing could stop us
Nothing in the world could break us
Tear us apart, and crush us
We were invulnerable to anything
We were one
