I take your hand and guide you through the fire
I walk with you
Aware as I can be that I'll only get burned
That my skin as ash and my bones as coal
Will no longer be beautiful
I take your hand
And watch as madmen fall in love with you
And you feel their love
Knowing they only bring abyss
For you to fall in and die as horribly as any sinner did
I watch
The eyes of a savior knowing
Angels can't exist without some demon to fight against
Some feeling from before
When man was animal
And instincts are primal
They know your skin but not your heart
Your voice but not your song
Your eyes
My endless skies
To fly through
Or endless oceans
To drown in
Not knowing how to swim
I take your hand
Knowing I can hold it better
Reading lines across your palms
Love as shining alms
Love
I take your hand
And fall when you're falling
And rise when your rising
Walking through gardens
As evil surrounds your halo
