“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket–safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside of Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is … Hell.”

C.S Lewis - “The Four Loves”

A while ago i asked John to come up with the lyrics for the Killstream tune “Kill For Me”. This is what they are now:

She used to have some powers
Living in her crystal towers
Believing in a new ascension
Truthful lies with a new age look
in her eyes

She bears no big indecisions
Already much loved with inprecision
Believing magic lies behind the eyes
Happy cries, not knowing life’s a poem
or what it means between the lines

Yes she can read
But she can’t read
Still she worries if he
Would he kill for me

I thought I already had
I killed in my sleep and
I suffered my mind all
This time suicidally dreaming
in her eyes

And forgive all my obsessions in love
This is the greater death, of bringing
Magic out from behind your eyes
Before the little death when you realise
you wouldn’t kill for me
