The sky was falling and
streaked with blood
I heard you calling me,
then you disappeared
into dust
Up tke stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the rire
1 need your kiss, but love
and duty called
you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs,
Into the fire

May your strength
give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love

May your strength
give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

You gave your love to see,
in fields of red and
autumn brown
You gave your love
to me and lay your
young body down
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need you near, but love
and duty called you
someplace higher
Somewhere up the
stairs, into the fire

May your strength
give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love
May your strength
give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love

It was dark, too dark
to see, you held me
in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness
of your smoky grave
Up the stairs,
into the fire
Up the stairs,
into the fire
1 need your kiss, but love
and duty called
you someplace higher
Somewhere up
the stairs, into the fire

May your strength give us strengt
May your faith give us faith
May your love give us hope
