Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again! We are defenders of the night, we are Gargoyles! – Goliath

I like this one. It was the text at my wedding, and I am Lutheran and my wife Catholic, and there was some trouble about us marrying because of it. Our pastor chose that so as to make it clear that all Christians are one body.

I love you, sweetie.

… song  
Glory  
One song  
Before I go  
Glory  
One song to leave behind

Find one song  
One last refrain  
Glory  
From the pretty boy front man  
Who wasted oppurtunity

One song  
He had the world at his feet  
Glory  
In the eyes of a young girl  
A young girl

Find glory  
Beyond the cheap colored lights  
One song  
Before the sun sets  
Glory  
On another empty life  
Time flies, time dies  
Glory - one blaze of glory  
One blaze of glory - glory

Find glory  
In a song that rings true  
Truth like a burning flame  
An eternal flame

Find one song  
Glory  
A song about love  
From the soul of a young man  
A young man

Find the one song  
Before the virus takes hold  
Glory  
Like a sunset  
One song  
To redeem this empty life

Time flies  
And then no need to endure anymore  
Time dies
