A Love no Coffin can Contain...

They have us surrounded

Shocked and astounded

Bloodshot eyes weep tears

By the thousands...

 

I looked at you, and you at me

The most stunning beauty that I'd ever seen

The boots on the ground and drones over head

That was the moment...

 

That we knew for sure

 

They built their prison

But it wasn't enough

To contain two lovers

As in love as us...

 

I could feel your heart pounding

Lurching and leaping

As the door burst open

And the gas started seeping...

 

It was then that I held you

And told you there was nothing to fear

It is only a line, together we will cross

A love as strong as ours could never be lost...

 

I remember the sting of fire in my back

I remember your screams

Everything went black

And then we awoke, or so it seemed...

 

To an existence so beautiful it could only be a dream

 

You were young again

More beautiful than you'd ever been

That is when I knew that the old world

Was only a means to an End...

 

Now we can begin to Live!
