Hell or highwater
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A union made in the heavens
Untouched by an outside world
Driven by the needs of lovers
To the beauty of the One unearthed
Sanctify, mystify
A vision of the light
Sacrifice the gift of life
Above the sky there's no higher
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
A love to set us free
In paradise lost they found it
On the slums of a shanty town floor
They're driven down the roads of Mordor
By a hurricane gale force
Sanctify, mystify
A vision of the light
Sacrifice the gift of life
Above the sky there's no higher
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
A love to set us free
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
Hell or high water
Written in the pages of a book
Only some have read
Spoken in a tongue only lovers hear
With a whisper
With a scream
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
A love to set us free
A love that scales mountains
(Hell or high water)
A love that is oceans deep
Hell or high water
Hell or high water
(Hell or high water)
(Hell or high water)
Driven by the needs of lovers
(Hell or high water)
Driven by the needs of lovers
(Hell or high water)
