VELVET UNDERWORLD

the worlds flowers like a carpet of crimson red

as one scatter and toss through the air

sorrow and sadness are born there

from the darkness that streams underneath

ah, are hearts only meant to lie?

are people just puppets of fate

{only to embrace those we love

and protect those small and precious

today again some one shouts that out

sacrificing even their life

to smolder in the midst of time

with that instants kiss.}

in this city stained with greed

there is only wind blowing towards the sky

all that is left of trampled love

is the tear left in the palm of my hand

ah, were smiles only meant to sunder?

every one has their wounded hearts

[I want to protect those timid creatures

those who kneel in prayer

I'll even carve a cross in my chest

to believe in something unstoppable

and the irrepressible spirit

now and forever]

the clouds disperse the stars are seen

the wind stills the birds sing

the ocean shines the heavens thaw

the night ends I feel you
