The Heart Beneath

The heart beneath

Heaven carries not
What the soul would reap
Growth of deception
Lined between the weeps

A thousand lusts luring in the heart
A desire in our sleep
A million lies striving to be shared
Escaping mindless leaps

What we did was set us our fear
An afterthought formed
First among fallen idols
Pandemonial storm

The heart beneath

The heart beneath
The desire to die
Scepters of scarlet
The eternal lie

The heart beneath

The heart beneath
The desire to die
Scepters of scarlet
The eternal lie

Tormented eyes, perceiving relief
The shadows light won't disappear
The mist reveals the shades of grief
The heart beneath, inside my fear
