about

Written September 2012 after listening to "New Skin for the Old Ceremony" the Leonard Cohen album for about a week straight.

lyrics

You are the thunder
I am the roar
You are the rain
I am the storm

We once were strangers
Now strangers no more
The calm met with comfort
Comfort met with warmth

But without your love
I'm a rich man turned poor
Though most is uncertain
Of this I am sure

There can't be fire
Without a flame
A burning desire
Imprisoned enslaved

Though with you beside me
My strength I'll regain
For your love resides in me
In my heart and my veins

A world without love
Is a world without light
Without grace from above
Without joy or delight

Where the sun's glorious rays
Pierce not shades of the night
Is a world filled with darkness
Misfortune and strife

Where all battles are lost
And no victor unites
For a world without love
Cannot help but divide

There can't be fire
Without a flame
No burning desire
To call you by name

For a world without love
Leaves you crippled and lame
While no hope but the sweet release
Of death through pain

Thank God we have fire
And fuel for the flames
Of our burning desire
Of our passionate rage

Through love we're unbridled
Unfettered unchained
Even death is now powerless
Only life remains
