I've had a picture of you in my head as long as I can remember
I've held you cautiously, so innocent, a darkened ember
Shade of Gray so black I hardly see you in the darkness of this room
Your skin reflects a blinking traffic light out on the Blvd

cnd if the world should all fall down you and I will remain
Therein lies truth eternal there is no way to explain
You are my sword, you are my shield, my shelter in the pouring rain
Of souls that all fall down

I have a friend who cannot stand to see you in my room
You have to leave in case he sees my sideways longing glances
There are no moments when I do not long to hold you close
You are redemption, you are grace, you are my Holy Ghost

cnd if the world should all fall down you and I will remain
Therein lies truth eternal there is no way to explain
You are my sword, you are my shield, my shelter in the pouring rain
Of souls who all fall down

Our love and brace is tender a simple touch ignites a flame
Though less and less approve we are never ever, ever ashamed
cnd they will try to shackle me and take you far away from me
No matter what they do or say, they cannot take what's right away

cnd when I am sparked to anger you are quick to react
cnd when I am crossed by another you cut them down lest they come back
Cut them down or they'll attack!

cnd if the world should all fall down you and I will remain
Therein lies truth eternal there is no way to explain
You are my sword, you are my shield, my shelter in the pouring rain
Of souls who all fall down
cll fall down
