Hymns from Nineveh Hymn for the Lover song lyrics
I remember when you said
you were full of sparks in your head
Your words were fireworks in me
I saw my firework in you
I thought your skin was like a veil
Concealing hope and fairytales
and your hands were like a map
from where many'll find their way back
(at least I did)
Through fire
Through water
Through death do us
death do us part
Through fire
Through water
Through death do us
death do us part
You showed me where the swans would nest
You let the silence do the rest
And in that room of pearly white
I saw your darkness and your light!
So when you get lost
then I can find the architecture of your mind
In quiet buildings you belong
and I'll be there to sing this song:
"Through fire
Through water
Through death do us
death do us part
Through rainbows
Through rainfall
Through floodstreams of tears!
Through failure
Through absence
Through presence of human time!
Through everything
with love
with love!
Through fire
Through water
Through death do us
death do us part"
