"The Sword & The Pen" lyrics

Don't let me out of this kiss
Don't let me say what I say
The things that scare us today
What if they happen someday?
Don't let me out of your arms for now

What if the sword kills the pen?
What if the God kills the man?
And if he does it with love
Well, then it's death from above
And death from above's still a death

I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live without you

For those who still can recall
The desperate colors of fall
The sweet caresses of May
Only in poems remain
No one recites them these days for the shame

So what if nothing is safe?
So what if no one is saved?
No matter how sweet
No matter how brave
What if each to his own lonely grave?

I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live without you

I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna live without you
