The Storm - Can't live without love [lyrics]

It seems that there was a discussion about ballads elsewhere recently. Here you go, gentlemen, you who have celebrated the Assumption (Dormition for those who are Orthodox), a slow tune from a thousand and one nights: or perhaps, from the late hours of the night. Chalfant at times sounds like Joe Cocker; the riffing is electrifying, the verse overwhelming, the arrangement well-rounded, and the odd-time drumming hints at earthy origins, while the bridge and the solo are chillingly pure.
Play it for your beloved: your love will never end, blessed by the priests of AOR.
