The bleak rock face above us stands
In the dusk it knows no fear
The dark that seeps into our lives
Would penetrate not here
Three score and ten this crooked stair
A mountain climb, till our sure d**h
As climber who 'neath the chasm lies
Life for us, traps it does set
Why always do I seem to have
This gun against my head?
It gets so very close sometimes
That I can almost taste its lead
This love is far too strong now
See me crying blood instead of tears
We've danced upon this battlefield
For far too many years
Amongst this ordered chaos, I need to feel your love so deep
Filling me with life's sweet music, inside pain can be sweet
This star to touch is ours alone, one that can be true
Given by our mother earth, a gift to me and you
