Together

(Edward McBride)

These lyrics describe the disruption and devastation to a young couple as the woman is diagnosed with late-stage cancer. The husband feels that he cannot go on when she passes away within a short period of time. He rationalizes that the only solution is to join her in Heaven.

It's the little things that count
The flowers for no reason
The unexpected texts
Walking hand-in-hand

Our hopes and dreams
We shared together
The news was truly numbing
Cancer came to take her

Chorus
The crumpled wife
The loss of life
Our time becomes so precious
I hope and pray
As I cannot stay
We belong together

She has no time
She goes so fast
Our lives have changed
We will still be one forever

I bury her with a heavy heart
I cannot fake it, I cannot take it
I hang the rope in my garage
I join her it's only right

Chorus
The crumpled wife 
The loss of life
Our time becomes so precious
I hope and pray
As I cannot stay
We belong together

Demons in the night

By Rihab Forsi

We all have been in a dark place, sometimes it takes so long that we think that we belong there. As a matter of fact, darkness and sadness is empowering to devils not humans, so we should extract what empowers us from that darkness and bring ourselves back to light. Being in the right path takes sacrifices, you should stay strong, fight every bad spirit that crosses your way. Life is a battle between good and bad, make sure you stick by the right path.
