  • Just when the sky runs out of rain
    Just when the sun runs out of light
    Just when the earth is ill with pain
    Just when your body is out of fight

    I will be there
    I will be the smallest piece and everything
    And I would give my life
    Before I break this promise to you

    Melt in to me
    Don't you want to be
    The ones that last forever
    I'll be your everlasting

    And enemies they take your will
    But they won't last forever
    I'll be your sword and shield and
    I'll be your sword
    I'll be your shield

    Just when the ocean starts to dry
    Just when the air is sick with smoke
    Just when the statues start to cry
    And fallen angels they lay broken

    I will be there
    I will be the smallest piece in everything
    And I would lose my life
    Before I break this promise to you

    Melt in to me
    Don't you want to be
    The ones that last forever
    I'll be your everlasting
    And enemies they take your peace

    But they won't last forever
    I'll be your sword and shield and
    I'll be your sword
    I'll be your shield

    I'll be your gracious angel
    I'll be your favorite stranger
    I'll be the mortar holding your walls
    I'll be your army

    Just when the sky runs out of rain
    Just when the sun runs out of light
    Just when the earth is ill with pain
    Just when your body is out of fight

    I will be there
    I will be the smallest piece in everything
    And I would give my life
    Before I break this promise to you

    Melt in to me
    Don't you want to be
    The ones that last forever
    I'll be your everlasting

    And enemies they take your feast
    But they won't last forever
    I'll be your sword and shield and
    I'll be your sword

    I'll be your shield
    I'll be your sword
    I'll be your shield
    I'll be your army Writer/s: Andrew Copeland, Jeff Beres, Ken Block, Mark Trojanowski, Ryan Newell
