 |     | The Book of Love
a rose gives you its beauty
but hurts you with its thorns
the symbol of unity
can be too painful to hold
like the story of the woman
who loved this one man
who died for his devotion
for the others in the land
love can conquer anything
but I’m sure
that she also felt the pain
when blood was washed away
the love remained
every time she called your name
it started in her heart
this miracle
and the book that lived on
after you’d gone
Magdalene brought love
it cannot be extinguished
it cannot be ignored
it cannot be denied now
of the woman and the lord
the symbols in the churches
the parchments and the stones
the clues in all the searches
will lead you straight towards
the love she carried with her
the sweet music
for those with the ears to hear
when blood was washed away
the love remained
every time she called your name
it started in her heart
this miracle
and it stayed there after all
we waited for so long
to learn the truth
it’s been hiding
behind legends of you
in your book
the book of love
