In My Heart

It was on a cold and windswept night

Far strayed from road and path

Through barren country was my flight

From sin’s eternal wrath

Beyond the steep inclining hills

I seldom stopped to rest

Above the treeline further still

Breath burning in my chest

And though my journey

Lead between

The mountain and the sea

In my heart you’ll be

To jagged peaks so draped in snow

That peril held each step

But from afar a light did glow

Into a cave I crept

The lights continued deep within

And led me to a shrine

Upon which crystal waters din

Reflections in recline

Through halls of stone

And trees of green

Within my heart you’ll be

And soon its voices spoke to me

A shadow formed from stone

My mirror image rose to be

From darkness I had known

There hanging from a thread upon

Which scales my sins did measure

Was a sword, its shadow swung

Above a pit of treasure
