Oh, I am held captive by you
and I shall always be yours;
all my heart, and all my soul
and all of my being.
Oh, how an eternal flame
burns within my heart
and an eternal passion
and an eternal love
does ever rage in my heart.
Oh, I am connected to you
as though you were my other self
through bonds of eternity
that can never be broken.
and oh, how a great sadness  
envelopes me
when I know you are so far from me.
It descends upon me
like clouds of death
like clouds of pain
from the bottom of hell's eternal pit.
And oh, when I fear
the eternal lose of you
it is as though I had fallen
into a dark eternal pit
blacker than any eternal night
than on earth no man has ever known.
Oh, if that should ever be
than let this blood that flows through my veins
flow like a red river
a river of scarlet upon the ground
that disappears into the thirsty earth,
and let the sun
never shine upon this heart again.
Oh, you are the light, and the breath of my life.
For within you there is all life and blessing
and my soul can live again.
Oh; it is made to life again from the blessings of your love,
from a darkness darker than night.
Oh, how the blessings of your love
is like the soft cool east wind
that revives me after a hot summer's day,
and caresses me in its loving embrace.
Oh, without you
all my being shall be torn into an infinite nothingness,
and the death of my soul shall be complete.
Oh, I love you
like a mother love her only child.
And the tearing of all  my flesh
I would give,
and the breaking of all my bones
I would give
to make you mine.
Oh, let me not live
under the dark shadows
of a world that is not lit
by the light of the love in your heart
so that a cold chill
penetrates into the center of my bones.
Oh, love me forever
for without your forever
I shall die in a loveless never.
And the life that once flowed within me
shall eternally be no more
for I live by your love
and I live by your grace
through all of eternities rising and setting suns.
