Vow

Early morn I was up long before dawnI watched you sleepI counted every beat of your heartNow we both know we'll never go back there againGuilty as charged that's allFallen snow - cover meWash me pure - Hold me tightWhat else is there left for you and for me?The life we once held on to caught in a riptide out to seaI left with innocent eyes to a nation so poorI felt humanity cry from the ravage of warI infiltrated the machine and it broke me in twoI wish for amnesty now and I find it in youI make this vowThe road to this place under a thundering skyIt's a long walk to heavenLord knows I've triedJust look around wind and snow and ice are all I seeSave for you my queenPounding rhythmsDistant footstepsEcho fearAnd drive my painI am crying out for love and for life eternalI am witnessI've been purchased with bloodSo many souls will burn outThe call requires an answerI've chased material gain it's the emptiest dreamI've watched it turn back to dust and it don't mean a thingThe spirit found its way in and it changed my whole lifeI'm offering you my hope with the gift of this lightPlease take this vowLet's pack away all our memories of homeNever look backCertainly never returnBegin anew you and I and snow and iceWill you surrender all your all to me?And in the comfort of my arms both noble and strongI'll guide you safely through the stormsI will make you my songRemaining steady and true for the rest of your lifeI offer you up my hand wanna make you my wifePlease take this vowA passion purer than gold or the night's brightest starMy love for you only growsIt knows no earthly boundsThe time is right for us now just believe what I sayI take your hand in my handAnd I promise you the worldPromise you the worldPromise you the worldI make this vow
