Not a Fire In My Heart

If you hold the key The chamber of my heart May be what you seek But warn you I should It is not what you expect But you will see You will see A thick door covered in locks One key could unlock them all If you can get past the vines And the wild overgrowth When the door finally turns Ah but you will see You will see A solemn chamber of solitude And me upon a decaying throne For I am King Nothing And this is my final domain I ponder as your eyes wander But you will see You will see Even in this dilapidated place A smile adorns my lonely face For in my chamber I have company At long last I am no longer King Nothing For you have brought peace at last And I will see I will see The torches lit with flames The dying flowers rise proudly Showered with my tears For you a small act of kindness But for me it changed my world And I will see I will see The beauty of this world at last When my heart has been repaired But your greatest act was not yet done For you took my hand and pulled me out So I could be blessed by sunlight With tears in my eyes I finally see I finally see
