"7"

How many have tried to separate us and failed over the years? Sometimes it seems never ending. They see what we have, this incredible love that is real and unending and do their damnedest to destroy it. Some are very coy about it, sneaking little things in here and there, bending our ears with thoughts of doubt. And even though we may have entertained considerations that what they said could possibly be true, it never once stopped the love between me and you.

We knew there was something bigger going on between us. Knew that if we let our hearts lead the way that together there wasn’t anything you and I couldn’t do. So we hung on—hung onto each other and the love that we found and built together, which only made us stronger. And that is why no one in the whole universe will ever compare. I am yours now and you are mine, and together we’ll love through all space and time. That is why they cannot touch what we have found in one another, what continues to grow every single day.

This love we share was meant to be, and no matter what we go through, it is where our greatest strengths and joys lie. Nothing can stop it. It defines who we are, who we were meant to be for all eternity. Love is what binds us together, what carries us through the darkest of days, what makes life worth living. It is all encompassing, consuming and uplifting, pushing away those who cannot comprehend what it’s all about. They are the ones who suffer, the ones who are blinded to the blessings that lie inside each of us. But you and I will go on, living and loving in the best part of you and me, showing the world just what it’s all about.

"7"

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet (1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4)
But behold, we will watch them fall

And we lay down on the sand of the sea
And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright, (that's alright)
4 I will watch them fall(1,2,3,4,5,6,7)

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

[(Just how old)]

And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
U and me will still be here - we will still be here

There will be a new city with streets of gold
The young so educated they never grow old
And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath
The voice of many colors sings a song
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare
I am yours now and u are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die
