Broken Shadows

I would have burnt the whole sky

Crushed every monument

Fought every tyrant

Brought empires down

I would have smuggled hope from heaven

Traded stars for your earrings

I would have painted the whole world red

Every flower with my blood

I would have stolen every ruby for your lips

Every sapphire for your eyes

I would have corrupted every poet’s tongue

Every painter’s brush

I would have carved your name

On every mountain top

On every flower petal

I would have ended violence

From the world forever

Spread love in every human heart

I would have traded my life willingly

For the smallest wish you made

I would have changed

The course of world history

If only

You loved me in time!

If only

You loved me in time!
