Let Destruction Fall

Let destruction
fall on me,
all around my
feet

Watching bad
days beat the
good, when all
the bad days
cheat

I’ll stand
there smiling in
the face, of a
raging storm so
near

I’d watch
the sun drop
from the sky,
without the
slightest fear

For with
you dear so
close to me,
my days are
always good

The sun
couldn’t fall,
it’d shine in
place, as it
always should

The storm
would weaken
the closer it
got, no damage
done at all

So as
long as you
stay close
to me, then let
destruction fall
