CORPUS CHRISTI LYRICS

1. Until The Day

We've been transfixed before our encounter will ever take place.
We've heard the stories and the words that have entered our hearts forever.
And with every effort we make preparations and persue on with the passion and the love that you've shown us with no end.
The death of every passing day is only another step closer to uniting lovers separated by this wicked world and wicked men.
United souls screaming.
How long.
Over the sound of our hearts breaking.
How long.
Until the day we become one.
How long.
Until the day.
When it all comes together we'll know.
When it all comes together we will know our time was spent accordingly.
We've been forgiven.
Set free.
We'll know it's true love.
We'll know it's true.

2. Marilyn

The silence echoes through the empty halls
No salutations... something was very wrong
She went searching for signs of life with hope... but nothing was found.

On the floor he lay
All the air when cold
The gravity of all her fears
Taking hold.

Now the bitter tears of despair streaming down her face
Silence shattered by the mourning cry
His soul taken away

She embraces reality with hope in spite of the pain

[Chorus:]
So in spite of all her fear she will never run away
This is her life

One last kiss goodbye
Tear drops on roses
Her held held up
While the pain imposes

[Chorus:]
So in spite of all her fears she will
Never run away
And as she soaks the ground with tears she says
"I will not run away. This is my life"

Black cars with flags... the cemetery quiet and still

No words of comfort can assuage the agony of loss
Above herself she reaches to find strength to carry on

As she turns to face her life alone bearing so much pain
She sees his eyes and finds her hope looking upon her daughters face

[Chorus]

The silence echoes through the empty halls...

3. The Sacrifice

How do you measure cost of that which can't be bought or sold.
The giving of which bears the price.
This is my sacrifice.
The price I'd pay for you alone.
Let not winters ragged hand decay the beauty of the heart.
Not even such a thing as death can keep our souls apart.
And i pledge my devotion to you.
In life or death my all for you.
This is my sacrifice.
Live and die for you without hesitation.
Live and die for you with no reservations.
This cost is nothing when weighed against the reward of a lifetime spent with you.
There's nothing i want more.
There's no price too high.
This is my sacrifice for you.
Test me.
See my proof.
Try me.
With fire and youth.
I may not have much i can offer.
But all i have is yours.
Every single breath of life i take for you.
Were it mine to give I'd give you the world.
And seal it with a kiss goodnight.
