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 Nemesis A million lies striving to be shared Escaping mindless leapsereos An afterthought formed First among fallen idols Of the pandemonial storm The heart beneath, the desire to die Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie Tormented eyes, perceiving relief The shadow's light won't disappear The mist reveals the shades of grief The heart beneath, inside my fear
