Heart Laid Bare

[Barthold/Holmberg/Wiklund/Masspublishing]
 The love we share is infected
 A passion bittersweet
 Dissolving to the music
 A romantic act of tragedy
 Moan and sigh entwined
 Pale and sick and tired
 In violet light embedded
 Flowers greet the death of the loving
 There's a beauty never known before
 In this beauty we're deformed and sore
 See the pain of a heart laid bare
 In the strain of a heart laid bare
 Dream of death, presentiment
 Under a tragic sky
 I close my eyes and dream away
 To another year in another time
 Illusion veils the face
 Sleepwalkeyes of the loving
 Features in melancholy
 Flowers greet the death of the loving
 There's a beauty never known before
 In this beauty we're deformed and sore
 See the pain of a heart laid bare
 In the strain of a heart laid bare
