"Still My Bleeding Heart"
A child to a boy
From a boy to a man
Pride growing stronger
Reaching his victories
He speaks no lies
He fights his cause
He judges not the scavengers
That persecute humanity
But fate does call
And the sickness falls
Lights of life dim down
Fear like an alien comes to view
But with words like the mountains
I'll die like a soldier in your arms
My will enduring 'til the pain is gone
Then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried
In the name of love
Still my bleeding heart
For the love of God
Still my bleeding heart
His chin he held high
And the courage in his voice
Was like the burning of the sun
But like the breath of an angel
How could this be?
I had to scream
Why this innocent young boy
Must suffer so helplessly?
But who am I
To challenge God?
In the ways of the world
Remain divine mystery
I crumble down
On my hands and knees
While his words fill the air
As he looks into his destiny
I'll die like a soldier in your arms
I will be brave so you can be strong
And then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried
In the name of love
Still my bleeding heart
For the love of God
Still my bleeding heart
And he died like a soldier in his lover's arms
Brave as a hero in a blood-red war
And his final words as he reached for the stars
In the name of love
Still my bleeding heart
Be well, my love
Still my bleeding heart
In the name of love
Still my bleeding heart
For the love of God
Still my bleeding heart
In the name of love
Still my bleeding heart
Be well, my love
Still my bleeding heart
In the name of love
Still my bleeding heart
For the love of God
Still my bleeding heart
