Forgotten Heart Song

by wordmusic

I kiss the lips of tragedy

Sin is my close companion

I lie and wait for lying things

That lie down and seduce me

 

What power do my actions hold?

Or more the power of my inactions?

 

Cry to me O heart song!!!

As I pluck at every string...

Have you forgotten the melody you once composed?

Sing your song O heart of old

As I try to remember the melody...
