You stand beneath a racing sky

You don't know why you came to

The house of the heart



You sit amongst the whitered flowers

By the dry fountains

You look at the barren world around

The house of the heart



The lichen covered courtyards lions

Stand restlessly beside you

The great door it swings

The house of the heart



Remote and scarlet

Say the clouds

Vivid visions shatter down the spiral stairs

Promises and perfection

Solitude and despair



You hear the tempest beauty sigh

You don't know how you came to

The house of the heart
