A child to a boy

From a boy to a man

Pride growing stronger

Reaching his victories



He speaks no lies

He fights his cause

He judges not the scavengers

That persecute humanity



Fate does call

And the sickness falls

Lights of life dim down

Fear like an alien comes to view

But with words like the mountains



I'll die like a soldier in your arms

My will enduring till the pain is gone

Then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried

In the name of love

Still my bleeding heart

For the love of God

Still my bleeding heart



His chin he held high

And the courage in his voice

Was like the burning of the sun

But like the breath of an angel



How could this be

I had to scream

Why this innocent young boy

Must suffer so helplessly



But who am I

To challenge God

In the ways of the world

Remain divine mystery



I crumble down

On my hands and knees

While his words fill the air

As he looks into his destiny



I'll die like a soldier in your arms

I will be brave so you can be strong

And then he looked into his lover's eyes and he cried

In the name of love

Still my bleeding heart

For the love of God

Still my bleeding heart



And he died like a soldier in his lover's arms

Brave as a hero in a blood red war

And his final words as he reached for the stars



In the name of love

Still my bleeding heart

Be well my love

Still my bleeding heart
