Burning, rocking beds with Cvisions of a landD

But with Gyou, you know I have no doubts, and Cfear will have no stingG  
With your brilliant eyes and your Clost and broken wing
My Dhead upon your shoulder as you taCke me in your armsD  
Continents will crumble, we will find no GharmC

Well, I'll Bbbrace myself against the dark, endeavour to go on
