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
