"John & Alexander" by The Storytellers [The Paladxn, 0]
LYRICS:

Within this
Closeness
And stillness
Rest at last from war, the righteous fight
At last alone, we show the earth you’re mine
‘Til the only thing that guides us
Is the beating heart inside us
And the rhythm of our love throughout the night

Through two and a half pints of Sam Adams I saw you first
I started to sweat, when our eyes met, and you spit your verse.
You spoke of freedom, thought my heart might burst
Raise a glass to the moment you spoke that word
I knew I wanted to hear you say my name for the rest of my life.

Skin to skin, my fingers shaking
And your passion kept my heartbeat saying
John & Alexander 
When at last the sun had risen
The only freedom we were living 
John & Alexander

Even if it’s 
Only
Moments,
Stolen with intent, with tender tries,
Impatient tastes, and hasty alibis
I will never leave your side
Even as we lead the fight
You will never leave my heart or leave my mind 

Through smoke and blood and sweat I saw you smile
Everything made sense, for the first time in a while.
Held you in my arms and cried we’d won
While the world turned right side up for once 
You kissed my lips, and we made this world our own.

Skin to skin, my fingers shaking
Your passion kept my heartbeat saying
John & Alexander 
When at last the sun had risen
The only freedom we were living 
John & Alexander

Raise a glass, raise a glass,
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us.
Raise a glass, raise a glass,
Tomorrow there’ll be more of us.

Tomorrow there’ll be more of us.
