Though they banish you from paradise,
for you I will gladly sacrifice,
I have given you my heart and now my soul.
Should they cast you down into the chasm,
if the Earth in cruelest spasm,
swallows us; I’ll gladly pay that toll.
You are all the reason that I live
no one else could give all that you give
you are all of life to me and you must know
What the future holds we’ll face as one
so let the worst they have be done,
where you are forced to walk is where I’ll go.
