Have you stared into the eyes of another? And found yourself out of breath, out of time Where your heart beats with a flutter In the realm of beauty, in the face of divine Where the world begins to slow All aggression set aside As the purest of thoughts consumes you You have found love and I say it with pride. How blackened must a heart be To see it as unclean To mutilate our most beautiful of feature And do it all in the name of that unseen Is it feral in its nature? Is there not but lust they see? Within their own hearts they know its joy But in the hearts of my brothers they call it blasphemy What fear is it that besieges them? That crept into there mind at night So that they may stand behind the powerful To revel in there hatred to revel in there spite. But do they think they face fragility A surrender of all that is right The truth of love is that it will always endure That is its beauty that is its might. Know that they are driven by fear To that their cowardice bound But I have seen the unity of love No greater power can be found Know that oblivion beckons But it will be them who answer the call But reach out your hand to meet them And at last into this pit they will fall. The world may seem black Pitiless and cruel But know there are some who will always stand beside you Be assured it is the privilege of us all.
