Get Ready
Beware the secrets castles keep,
in angry chambers tucked away -
within your soul they do not sleep
There, quietly within, they creep,
kept hidden from the light of day.
Beware the secrets castles keep.
Lost down behind where conscience weeps,
the secrets know they cannot stay;
within your soul they do not sleep.
Through many walls it slowly seeps
'til when our peace becomes the prey.
Beware the secrets castles keep.
We're warned that what we sow we reap;
at harvest time we'll have to pay.
Within your soul they do not sleep.
Loud echoes from within now weep
the secret truths of fraught decay.
Beware the secrets castles keep,
within your soul they do not sleep.
