You hide your heart behind a mask, its really quite a shame

Your past is draped in tragedy; the reaper grim's to blame

Your heart may crack or even shatter, but know this well my dear

I'll always put you together again, and then smile from ear to ear

At the single most beautiful of all god's creations, perfectly constructed with love

And I see them all surrounding you, protecting you, his doves

Can I be a little dove? Shield you with my wings?

I want to keep you safe from all your demons, external, internal, all the wicked things

I'd let them bruise and batter me, slit my throat even in your place

To keep your blood within your veins, I'd gnaw the nose off my face

I'd also take a tire iron and bash the reaper's head

Don his cloak, and take his scythe, become the new lord of dead

I'd take the life of every demon, every single foe

Then grab ahold of your angel's wings and smile as they carry us home

We'll go to a place where nothing can touch us, where you will forever be free

From all the torment and then I'll ask you to spend eternity with me.
