Beauty stands

Beauty stands

I cannot hold

It in my hands

I must be bold

When beauty falls

Through all the worlds

And wars so cold

And beauty is as beauty calls

And I look upon the scene

The sky is blue

The fields are green

And I know it's all to seem

For beauty stands and beauty falls

And our's is time

And time must rust

All the things we love and trust

Beauty binds us

And beauty must stand and fall

Stand and fall

Like all is dust

To savour a kiss of a lover's lust

A tree in the forest that turns to dust

Beauty stands and beauty falls

As the cows in the field chew cud

And the plain road turns into mud

All we know are the desert and flood

As beauty stands and beauty falls

And I know that my life is blood

And anything I do, I do for love

Because beauty stands and beauty falls

Yes beauty stands and beauty falls

Like time's sands

And castle walls 

Beauty stands

And beauty falls

And like some hands

Whose prayer does call

Beauty stands

And beauty falls

And if your love 

In times are lost

Do not be afraid

Trust in the cross

For that man

Who guards it all

Beauty stands

And beauty falls

And if you walk in a troubled land

Where there are no friends

near to hand

Only the devil's tempting call

Beauty stands and beauty falls

Beauty stands through it all

Beauty stands through it all

The ravages of time

And beauty falls

Beauty stands and Beauty falls

Through our hands

Like crumbling walls

Through it all

He stands

Yes beauty stands tall

And the fires of love burn quick

They beat our hearts with a birch whip stick

And they call love is cold oh love is cruel

Beauty stands through it all

The ways of man

They stand and fall

And beauty is like no other plan

Beauty stands

Through it all
