And when the sands are dry
and I am drained of all the waters that enliven
when I am limping, trembling and bleeding,
thirsty and hungry and weak
I will believe that love won't die

when I am in a hoard of immortal dark ghosts
when I am walking all alone
when the sun burns the most until it grows out of me
and when I'm falling from heights in the sky
I will know that my soul lives and love won't die

and when there is no sound from the portals of time
I will know that music lives
and when I am on hard ground I will believe that birds still fly
and when I cannot sleep, I will believe that I can swim in oceans deep
and when death smiles at me, I will know that love will not die.

And when I am dead and my body rots, I will know that it's all a ride
and when I've transcended, I will know the horizons beyond the sun
and when I've ascended, I will advance to higher frequences of knowledge
and when all evil comes after me, I will live a thousand times for love lives eternally.
