Intertwined by heart and bound in mind
Wills to live balanced by the fate of the other
Where hope floats only on truth
And the Darkness always burns.
Rebel in nature with a need to fight, a need to fly
So when there's those days I really don't wanna try
You wonder, am I really this me I claimed to be?
Desperately I cling to all essence of you
Do you know how hard I fight?
That I can't sleep until I know you're ok?
I love you so dang much
And this stubborn mind won't let you go, I can't let you go.
In fear and pain we spoke again tonight
Wherein the mask of what scars Time has left was peeled away
All those scars, bruises, and broken bones now so evidentially clear
And I know what I've done to you is do damn wrong
There's no life worth living knowing what I've done to you
For the sanctity of life and for the peace of mind
My love, this is all for you, what I'm about to do
For you the bandages all come off
Shine the badge because I'm taking up my rifle again
You can't take anymore stress, not anymore pain from me
Forever I will stand by your side against the Storms of Hell
And here I stand in the wake of the sun
Wearing the stripes of a new horizon
Because I love you
I had to kill myself
Here I am--this is the new me.

Tears are what we shed in sorrows met and pain beneath the layers of epidermal coloring
For you those tears will sparingly fall
Soldier it up without a doubt I can remain alive in a soldier's fight
Here where the crossroads meet
Dressed in blue, all in blue, I stand for you.

I love you John.
