B - Sides
Take my hand 
And walk in the light 
Understand, there's a fire to ignite 
You know we have a responsibility 
It's true we've been chosen 
And now we have the possibility 
Of melting what's frozen 


Walk with me with the rapture inside 
Can't you see it's not your place to decide 
You know we have to make a case for 
love 
It's more of a duty 
It's clear we have a mission from above 
A mission of beauty 


You know I wouldn't lie to you 
What would I achieve by that 
It's more than I would try to do 
These are the facts 


Take your place here 
With love in your heart 
Just embrace what you've known from the
the start 
We are fulfilling our only destiny 
The angels have spoken 
And all the gods in the universe agree 
The spell can't be broken
