Lyrics

My heart sings a tune
That confounds my mind
Sets its eyes on gold
Only kings do find
What horizons hold
Ever seeks to know
What the oceans hide
And the masters know
Burning down the walls
Bringing in the light
Brighter than the stars
Dancing in the night
How reckless you are
Says reasoning mind
How's the dog to know
The sweetness of flight
Or the shadow to
Taste the suns delight
O my heart shine on
Singing in the night
O my heart burn on
Bringing in the light

My heart sings a tune
That confounds my mind
Sets its eyes on gold
Only kings do find
What horizons hold
Ever seeks to know
What the oceans hide
And the masters know

My breath shed a sigh
With my limbs at rest
Spoke a thousand lines
That my heart expressed
Pulled a thousand fears
From a broken chest
Sang a thousand songs
From an empty nest
Like an orphaned bird
Wings spread in flight
And a soothing tune
Mingling with the night
Finding solace in
Spreading far this light
A burning longing
Birthed at night
To a time for change
To a cry for hope
To break from the chains
Of a tightening rope
Burning on the cheek
Of a desert road
On its own to seek
The Endless Abode

My heart sings a tune
That confounds my mind
Sets its eyes on gold
Only kings do find
What horizons hold
Ever seeks to know
What the oceans hide
And the masters know
