Vow

Early morn I was up long before dawn

I watched you sleep

I counted every beat of your heart

Now we both know we'll never go back there again

Guilty as charged that's all

Fallen snow - cover me

Wash me pure - Hold me tight

What else is there left for you and for me?

The life we once held on to caught in a riptide out to

sea

I left with innocent eyes to a nation so poor

I felt humanity cry from the ravage of war

I infiltrated the machine and it broke me in two

I wish for amnesty now and I find it in you

I make this vow

The road to this place under a thundering sky

It's a long walk to heaven

Lord knows I've tried

Just look around wind and snow and ice are all I see

Save for you my queen

Pounding rhythms

Distant footsteps

Echo fear

And drive my pain

I am crying out for love and for life eternal

I am witness

I've been purchased with blood

So many souls will burn out

The call requires an answer

I've chased material gain it's the emptiest dream

I've watched it turn back to dust and it don't mean a

thing

The spirit found its way in and it changed my whole

life

I'm offering you my hope with the gift of this light

Please take this vow

Let's pack away all our memories of home

Never look back

Certainly never return

Begin anew you and I and snow and ice

Will you surrender all your all to me?

And in the comfort of my arms both noble and strong

I'll guide you safely through the storms

I will make you my song

Remaining steady and true for the rest of your life

I offer you up my hand wanna make you my wife

Please take this vow

A passion purer than gold or the night's brightest star

My love for you only grows

It knows no earthly bounds

The time is right for us now just believe what I say

I take your hand in my hand

And I promise you the world

Promise you the world

Promise you the world

I make this vow
