Beating Hearts - King Charles

You are every part of my beating heart

You are the blood within me

My love outweighs my lust for you

My head outweighs my heart

I am with you through eternity

Or until my blood stops pumping

Without you rushing through my veins

There is no life within me

Give up the things you love for love

Love despite your mood

Take me as I am

Let me love you

Blood on the hands of the son of God

Oh, the pain that love brings

I will try to defend our love

From false feelings

Bend like a bow in the archers hand

Arrows run swiftly

Strike my flesh, then my bones then pierce my heart

Love’s poison seeping

Give up the things you love for love

Love despite your mood

Take me as I am

Let me love you

Dead to the world you’ve become my universe

An act of perfect poison

Crippled deaf and blind I’ve become

My arms hang loose from my shoulders

Without my arms I cannot hold a shield

Or wield a mighty sword

Every drop of blood that stains the earth

A stamp on the ground that I love you

Give up the things you love for love

Love despite your mood

Take me as I am

Let me love you
