The Deeper Our Love

The deeper the love
the deeper the wound
all of heaven above
is wrought with angels that swoon

The farther we go
the farther we have
this path is long
we travel in-half

The more I have
the more we lose
this battle is not fought with love
no, to this angels refuse

The wider this valley
the wider the breach
what heaven does not have
we can not reach

The redder my blood
the deader the I feel
what heaven envies
my heart can not conceal

The harder they come
the harder they fall
I'll beat them down
houses and all

The stronger they hit
the stronger I fight
no winged seraph from hell
will take away our light

The colder you get
the colder my eyes
whatever savior comes to take you
is another by my hand that dies

The fainter you leave
the harder I cry
it's not heaven or its angels
that deserved to die
