The Pale horse came foaming
From a dissipating cloud
The sound of all Hells army
Heat between our fingers
Radiating wonder
Draining bucket after bucket
On the alter we rebuilt
The color from your face is lost
Ravaged you like cancer
Arrows of fire
Poisoned you with fever
Hot sweat boiled between us
As I wait for you to go
But your dreams are perfect
Beneath a shaded oak tree
You fell asleep with me
Flowers growing and dying around us
Trails of sailing clouds
Thin enough to breathe
Fingers are a wonder
Touch softly on my face
Warm or cool it didn't matter
Heaven thank you for taking her
Heaven keep her
The mountains here are cold
I stumble on them alone
The deserts are dry
Sand no longer chokes you
Or cuts your eyes
I drag through them alone
Silent seas of blood
I only wish to drown in
So I can be with you
Hail of fire falls
And I cry for the rocks to fall upon me
Your picture now smeared and faded
As the seals are broken
I fight scorpions with the body of a lion
And the face of a man
As the heaven white ******
Walks on the seas
The dragon circles the shore
Searching for her scent
The wisemen bow before him
Giving gifts of gold
As the book of life is opened
And my name was not called
Breaking from the line to find you
But millions line the streets
Behind me he thunders
Depart for I knew you not
Sent to dine with Hades
As your candle in heaven is covered
In the black sulfur
Heated beyond any fire
I can smile as you sit beneath an oak
In some corner of heaven
Dreaming about me
What god would not allow
True love to break the gates of fire
