Where is the right place for a comma or a fullstop ?

Hello guys, I'd like to know where to put the comma or/and the fullstop in the following sentence:-

When all is lost, and daylight ends.
I'll carry you, and we will live forever, forever.

They're both talking about the same thing in the two sentences, so I think this sentence has to have a comma instead of a fullstop:-

When all is lost, and daylight ends, I'll carry you, and we will live forever, forever.

The first part is an adverbial introductory (compound) clause. " The main clause is compound. " When all is lost and daylight ends, I'll carry you and we will live forever, forever.

The first part is an adverbial introductory (compound) clause. The only comma necessary is after "ends."
The main clause is compound. The only comma (for a pause in speaking) is after the first "forever."

When all is lost and daylight ends, I'll carry you and we will live forever, forever.
