Hearts Grave

I went into that place of passion And saw what I had never seen That the Gates to the Heart of my Love were shut As if there, I had never been And into the darkness, the circles bound Where the flowers of Love once grew And, try as I would to open those gates It was something I could not do And, looking past the mist of crimson Into the Temple of my Heart I saw that its court was filled by a grave With a tombstone, at its start And I saw that the stone did bear my name As I knelt down upon the green For the Gates to the Heart of my Love were shut My Hearts grave is filled with pain For all those things, for everything, for nothing And a man For I have become in the Heart of my Love Just another Man
