I was having some difficulty getting all the words to show up, I hope you are all able to read this one clearly. Enjoy!
Here is a link where you can find the song and I have posted
the lyrics below.
What I said before I
said in truth
I've never seen before what I see in you
I knew not wrong from
right, until first I saw in you
The sea may claim my
life, but I'll come for you
Now
hear these words and find some peace
The worlds is ours if you believe
I'll
come for you, a thousand ships or more
I'll come for you, a cross a world at war
I'll come for you, if just this much you swore
May
my kingdom fall till our kingdom come
For a love like this has only just begun
And against us both may the world unite
For
my fleet I'd burn
For our love I'd fight
Now
hear these words, your mind at ease
I'd give it all if you'd believe
I'll
come for you, a thousand ships or more
I'll come for you, a cross a world at war
I'll come for you, if just this much you swore
That
you would be waiting on the shore
Till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath
Till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath
Till
my dying, dying, dying breath
Till my dying breath
I'll
come for you, a thousand ships or more
I'll come for you, a cross a world at war
I'll come for you, if just this much you swore
That
you would be waiting on the shore
This I swore till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath
Till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath
This is one of my
favorite songs by this band. It always makes me feel like I am loved and that
one day, my prince charming will come. The vocalist sings how he will fight for
the death if that's what it takes. He sings of his world falling apart until
his love is part of it also. He will risk his life through war and across
oceans and all that his love has to do is swear she will be waiting for him.
This song strikes a chord with me because I know what it is to be apart from
the person you love because of distance that you have no control over. I always
hear the longing in the singer's voice in my chest as if all these words were
my own. The romance is constructed in this link by all the things that I have
listed above. The opening verse is the strongest one. For a man not to know the
great knowledge of the world until he set eyes on you, how can any girl not
want to hear these words coming from someone she loves? He tells his love to
keep her mind at ease and to feel peace because he is on his way. He will go
through anything to be with his love. Isn't that what so many of us wish for in
this life, to find someone willing to do anything just to be at our side?
Because this song even exists it gives hope to us that there is a chance we can
find someone special like this. This song is proof itself because one man sings
this maybe just maybe there are more and maybe just maybe is there one for each
of us. If you are not a "cheesy romantic" maybe this song sounds
needy to you, maybe you believe that we should not be so dependent on another
person. But I think this song argues it well that there is something more than
just walking the world alone.
Sorry guys I can't get the color to stop it. :(
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this band, but this song made me want to hear more! It's really interesting if you listen to the tone of his voice while he sings "I'll come for you." He starts belting this part so the listener knows that he truly means it. Also, when he sings "Till my dying breath," his tone is soft and subtle, like he's given all he has left to give. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteEver since I was a pre-adolescent I have been fascinated by the traditional understanding of the human condition. What starts out as yearning soon becomes debased into a carnival of lust, leaving only a sense of dread and the prospect of a new synthesis.
ReplyDeleteAs shimmering forms become transformed through studious and personal practice, the listener is left with an insight into the limits of our future.
Good song (I went and found it). Really as much romantic 'soul mate' stuff as we'll ever see. And I could imagine myself the woman (I assume) who hears this--powerful. How's it 'Romantic' (big 'R'), though?
