Love and love alone
is stronger than strong death -
has power to heal the wound
the stench upon the breath.
Love and love alone.
Truth and truth alone
Is stronger than the cord
that binds us to the lie
which chokes our very word -
Slicing through the knot
Piercing deep within
A sharp and shining sword
Right to the very bone
Yet never breaks the skin.
Truth and truth alone.
Life and life alone
Lives eternally -
Holds us in its arms
Cradled tenderly.
Soft and sweet it sings
A wild lullaby -
I am on the throne,
Life and life alone.
