Dark Heart

Dark Heart - Benedictum

The pawn has overtaken

And now I stand forsaken

Something wicked this way comes for me

Darkest horizon suffer in silence

Trapped and ashamed and

Contained by my beautiful pain

Barbed just like wire thwarted desire

Surging within me until I shall lose all control

From the depth of my soul

Dark heart

And it shall come to pass

Cloaked in the veil that remains

As tattered as my past

The tapestry of life is stained

By my beautiful pain

I remain in my darkness in chains

Alabaster cold and lifeless inside I remain

Courting disaster

Servant and master hunter and hunted consumed

I devour my prey

The thrill of the chase

Dark heart

And it shall come to pass

Cloaked in the veil that remains

As shattered as my past

The tapestry of life is stained

I remain in my darkness in chains

Round and around circulating my woe

When will it end nobody knows

Dark heart

Dark heart

Set me free

Dark heart

I remain

A prisoner in chains
