Nothing Else Matters

Song: Nothing Else Matters
Cliché: The Writing On the Wall
Image: Clock

Your love, the orbit that I’ve always sought
A constant star’s warm illumination
For endless decades, searched and fought
Soul salve, this reassuring sensation

Fate’s clock may wind down its final minutes
And there’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Nothing else matters, even if we’re finished
Just having you next to me

The truth is embossed on the wall of time
For all to read if they so choose
We never know the final chime
If love we cherish, no time to lose

Our eternal backdrop, fate’s invisible clock
In this light of day, all illusions shatter
We build our base on love’s solid rock
Because in the end, nothing else matters

this is really nice. It's the song I chose as well, but I did it totally different with different picture, etc. I think S.O will love this one in his contest.
