Our Love I Will Always Hold
It is this final day I dread
Like a blanket of grave despair
That suffocates my heart
It is all I can do, to stop this scream from wrenching forth
As I watch your breath labour...My love
Through tears I watch you try and squeeze my hand
Knowing HE stalks the room, pushing that evil
Ever so closer to your soul
As our eyes betray what little tears we have left
What time will thieve from our future at HIS behest
My God I pray don’t forsake us
Take this wretched Beast and cast him from her pain
As surely our love still burns below the coals
HE has strewn from our dying hearth
My love... I am numb with fear as I watch you wither
As I sit here crying with tears that never dry up...My sweet love
I watch HIM seize your last breath through our hold
My love...
Our love I will always hold...
