Precious Angel (feat. SU2)

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you sing
When you've reached that mountain top you shall begin, to climb, to climb, so high
To fly, to fly, so high

I rub your frail back, I see your eyes fading
The breath you try to grab, your body that is changing
The time we've had, the time we spent waiting
The life you now lack and my heart that's aching
It's degrading the most amazing person that I know
Wasting what you were creating, your purpose and growth
Taking without explaining the person I love most
How can a life so beautiful be reduced to such a low
Your body slows down, your life is snatched away
Day-to-day living breaks down to disarray
What you once thought was important, you discover was in vain
Now you battle to survive this illness you can't change
You become a slave to pain, your body weakens
The challenges you face come with untameable demons
Your future is replaced with desolation and depletion
As cancer takes the greatest with no warning and no reason

When the earth shall claim your limbs, you will dance, you will dance
When the earth shall claim your limbs, only then shall you truly dance, shall you truly dance

Dry your eyes don't you cry, don't be scared to say goodbye
Close your eyes it's alright, like the sun fades it will rise
Dry your eyes don't you cry, don't be scared to say goodbye
Close your eyes it's alright, like the sun fades it will rise

I watch your precious smile and laughter turn to tears
Your infectious personality erode and disappear
Defenceless and in fear from a cancer so severe
You stand tall and tremendous as you face your biggest fear
I'm here, no distance will divide us, time apart will not deprive us
May our love always ignite
Our spirit, our hope, may our memories overflow
May I always know you're close, when I feel alone
May the courage you've shown give me strength when I am low
Coz watching you suffer... it's like a sword to my throat
Your fight until the end taught my disheartened heart to hope
The brightness you've brought my life, lights up the darkened road
So when it's time to go, don't be scared to say goodbye
Where ever you go, one day we'll reunite
The level of my love for you, can never be described
Just know that when you close your eyes everything will be alright

When the earth shall claim your limbs, you will dance, you will dance
When the earth shall claim your limbs, only then shall you truly dance, shall you truly dance

Dry your eyes don't you cry, don't be scared to say goodbye
Close your eyes it's alright, like the sun fades it will rise
Dry your eyes don't you cry, don't be scared to say goodbye
Close your eyes it's alright like the sun fades it will rise

Dry your eyes don't you cry, don't be scared to say goodbye
Close your eyes it's alright, like the sun fades it will rise
Dry your eyes don't you cry, don't be scared to say goodbye
Close your eyes it's alright, like the sun fades it will rise
