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 wind 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 Please take this vow
