"Love of two is one
Here but now they’re gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn’t go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don’t be afraid"
- Blue Oyster Cult
"One voice
One voice
One simple word
Hearts know what to say
One dream can change the world
But keep believing
‘Til you find your way"
- Billy Gilman
"On a cob web afternoon
In a room full of emptiness
By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages of a book full of death
Reading how we’ll die alone
And if we’re good we’ll lay to rest
Anywhere we want to go"
- Audioslave
"I’m not after fame and fortune
I’m after you
When I’ve served my time I swear
I will come back for you"
- Rise Against
"Once upon a time
Before the lakes and rivers were polluted
Before the animals were poached to extinction
And before man had destroyed the earth’s atmosphere
There was a great ship
This vessel was to venture into new waters
To find new resources
To make life easier and more enjoyable
~
It was a simple mission for the crew
Who were excited to be a part of this union
They pledged their allegiance to the captain
And vowed to be there no matter what
In sickness
Health
And possible death
~
As time passed by
There was no new land to be found
As the days grew shorter
And the nights grew longer and colder
The crew became more and more skeptical
About the captain’s vision
Originally passionate and committed
True and faithful
They now began to revolt
~
“You crossed the line
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And everyone should take the lead
Follow your dreams
If you don’t try
You fail”
~
As the mutiny started
And the captain was overthrown and chained
He asked them why their minds had changed
“There’s no gold to be found
No treasure in the ground
We won’t die for this
We won’t die for you”
~
“You’ve lost your minds
I was honest
I never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And even if they disagree
Follow your dreams
If you don’t try
You fail”
~
This dream is now
A shipwreck in the sand
They gave up
They made all their demands
The storm consumed fifty seven souls
Who died in vain
His love they stole
~
This union
A battle fought and lost
This union
Is not about the cause
This union
Was never about love"
- Silverstein
