Heat

Amid a transfixed crowd, their mouths agape Gathered around a centerpiece Amid pillars and statues so majestic I move with their mechanical dancing Beaming like the highest art She strikes divine, yet taunts me with her smile I'm mystified as we lock eyes Hold me, hold me Hold me, hold me Hold me down Hold me, hold me Hold me, hold me Hold me down Swelling smoke streams around her feet Her veins glowing bright with heat She reveals fissures in her magnificence While I still dwell on diligence I see the masses disperse at the sight of it Their shutters hide the sight of it And I am stunned by the sight of it I stand still Close to my world's end She rose and brought hell Under my skin She was sleeping so soundly Sleeping so soundly Close to my world's end She rose and brought hell Under my skin She was sleeping so soundly Sleeping so soundly Hold me, hold me Hold me, hold me Hold me down Hold me, hold me Hold me, hold me Hold me down She has a face no stranger than mine Flaring up under the red stained sky In the glorious ruins of her appearance I recognize myself disappearing Weep for the wreckage around me Her betrayal confounds me, a spectacle That haunts me every time we lock eyes Close to my world's end She rose and brought hell Under my skin She was sleeping so soundly Sleeping so soundly Close to my world's end She rose and brought hell Under my skin She was sleeping so soundly Sleeping so soundly
