For My Love I Promise Thee

I will carry your weary
body...

for my love I promise thee 

I will carry you across 
tortured seas...

for my love I promise thee

I will crawl across
molten ashes...

for my love I promise thee

I will trudge infested scorching desert sands

for my love I promised thee

I will carry you over 
derelict mountains

for my love I promise thee

for we will breath the nearer

for our love I command

I gave my heart to you
my love...

all others from mine eye
disappeared...

for I have loved you only
reached the highest point
of despair...

My love I will not lay down
not lay down to surrender...

for my love I promise thee

whilst my love is near

for my love I promise thee
