Secret Heart

At the start
Deep in the ground
The thunder brought
Science and sound
The sound, oh the sound

Then the mud
It flowed with man
And equal parts of the ocean
The spark, oh the spark

The secret heart

Fast forward a thousand years
A man and a woman understood the fear
Of death, oh of death

No record needed
Just to sing with words
Truer than they ever heard
The art, oh the art

The secret heart

As the years passed like wine
An old dark grey and withered vine
Grew thorns, drew blood

Men took on metal chests
And women forced deep within themselves
Felt pain, knew fear

The secret heart

'Cause ain't the human play
Just a bunch of people dying?

I've known madness
Desperation too
But I promise that's not what I sing to you
Right now, oh right now

Things break down
Like they always do
But this time the odds lie in favor
Of me and you
