Your Black Heart

Under blackberry streams and waterfalls

hide away in the ruins of your cowardly past

doomed to walk the earth in solitude for eternity

this pain of your own making

but you want somebody else to hurt

it's you who is to blame

and you who refused to see the pain you caused

and your ugliness, and the ugliness...

and beauty...

In your black heart you honour

yourself like some kind of king

you talk of passion but no compassion

you've had so many chances

and now there are no more

I hated you with all my heart

but I knew the conforter would

come and play his part

and I will have my vengeance

Run to the sea, build a house of shells and sand

paint it pink live off the land

what is this melancholy of the sea?

I know it well it stays with me

this memory will always be a part of me

I tried so hard to protect him from you

but the law protected you

and now you are forever embedded in this song

and there's nothing that you can do

The time will come to honour yourself no more

I really couldn't say if god will give you a last chance

through the backdoor

like Maximus to Commodus I will be the one

to push the blade to your throat then my work is done

why could you just not change?

Run to the sea, build a house of shells and sand

paint it pink live off the land

what is this melancholy of the sea?

I know it well it stays with me

this memory will always be a part of me
