"Just when the ocean starts to dry,
Just when the air is sick with smoke,
Just when the statues start to cry
& fallen angels, they lay broken.
I will be there, I will be
the smallest piece in everything,
& I would lose my life
before I break this promise to you.
Melt into me
Don't you want to be
the ones that last forever
I'll be your everlasting
& enemies,
they take your peace,
but they won't last forever
I'll be your sword & shield
& I'll be your sword,
I'll be your shield.
I'll be your gracious angel.
I'll be your favorite stranger.
I'll be the mortar holding your walls.
I'll be your army."
