When the world is crumbling, crashing, burning, and it seems like we’re alone,
When the things of earth grow dim and start to fade,
There’s a light of love, of truth, of hope, in my strength and understanding,
I’ll be there to catch your fall and take the blade;
When your fears take shape and become your days, when you choose to live among them,
When your ego paints illusion on your skin,
When you’re raped by dark delusion, and betrayed by false pretenses,
I’ll be there to fight for you until the end;
When you run away from love and hide, when it pulls your panic triggers,
When you choose convenience, comfort, selfish pride,
When you focus on appearance, making love a cheap illusion,
I’ll be there to hold you close, arms open wide;
When your body turns to tarnish, your brittle bones in a wrinkled bag,
When you can’t be life’s illusion any more,
When your eyes are old and cloudy, your angel face turns pale and gray,
I’ll be there, ‘cause you’re the woman I adore;
When the world is crumbling, crashing, burning, and it seems like we’re alone,
When the things of earth grow dim and start to fade,
There’s a light of love, of truth, of hope, in my strength and understanding,
I’ll be there to catch your fall and take the blade,
I’ll be there to catch your fall and take the blade.
