[intro]
And still - the men - chatted - pleasantly, and smiled --- Was it possible -
They heard not? - Almighty God! - no, no? They heard! - they suspected! -
They KNEW! - they were making a mockery of my horror! - this I thought
And this I think --- But anything was better than this agony!
Anything was more tolerable than this derision!
I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer!
I felt that I must scream or die!
- and now - again - hark!
Louder! louder! louder! LOUDER!
"Villains!"
"dissemble no more! I admit the deed!
- tear up the planks!
-- here, here! -
It is the beating of his hideous heart!"
[Verse 1]
They say your ailing doves get caught
They say her peace will make you weak
They now obtain your words by fraud
And modulate them as they speak
[Chorus]
Beyond her walls I shatter mine
Towards her charming lies I crawl
Her heart got sore as she found mine
Into her liquid arms I fall
[Verse 2]
Her noiseless treads delight my ears
I bury dreams along her shore
In radiant black her gliding tears
Under her surface so much more
