Until The End and Beyond

Recite again to me the consequences of my actions,
Before I make my fatal move.

Tell me that you love me and kiss my cheek,
Remind me that you don’t approve.

Stand beside me as my world plunges into a fiery hell,
Give me strength against the fear.

Die with me in the valiant fight for what I believe,
Embrace my dying body, and whisper in my ear,

Until the end and beyond, my love.
