Suddenly, all your history's ablaze Try to breathe, as the world disintegrates Just like autumn leaves, we're in for change Holding tenderly to what remains And all your memories, are as precious as gold And all the honey, and the fire which you've stole Have you running through all your red-cheeked days Shaking loose these souls, from their sacred hiding space Hold your heart courageously As we walk into this dark place Stand steadfast erect and see That love is the province of the brave Pushed under this expanse of bursting stars Let this burning brightly illuminate the where we are In this hollow that's lovers' voices occupy Let it follow that we let it free, let it fly Breaking open the walls of this cage Intoxicated, oh so amazed Much like falcons tumbling from the heights at play Conjoined, talons engaged Hold these hearts courageously As we walk into this dark place Stand steadfast beside me and see That love is the province of the brave
