Menelaus - Lyrics - We The Living

We the Living is the debut novel from the Russian-American novelist Ayn Rand. It is a story of life in post-revolutionary Russia and was Rand's first statement against communism. Rand observes in the foreword that We the Living was the closest she would ever come to writing an autobiography. Rand finished writing the novel in 1934, but it was rejected by several publishers before being released by Macmillan Publishing in 1936. It has since sold more than three million copies.

What I said before I said in truth I've never seen before what I see in you I knew not wrong from right, until first I saw in you The sea may claim my life, but I'll come for you Now hear these words and find some peace The worlds is ours if you believe I'll come for you, a thousand ships or more I'll come for you, a cross a world at war I'll come for you, if just this much you swore May my kingdom fall till our kingdom come For a love like this has only just begun And against us both may the world unite For my fleet I'd burn For our love I'd fight Now hear these words, your mind at ease I'd give it all if you'd believe I'll come for you, a thousand ships or more I'll come for you, a cross a world at war I'll come for you, if just this much you swore That you would be waiting on the shore Till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath Till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath Till my dying, dying, dying breath Till my dying breath ... I'll come for you, a thousand ships or more I'll come for you, a cross a world at war I'll come for you, if just this much you swore That you would be waiting on the shore This I swore till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath Till my dying, dying, dying, dying breath
