Celtic Frost

The Heart Beneath

Celtic Frost


Heaven carries not 
What the soul would reap 
Growth of deception 
Lined between the weeps 
A thousand lusts luring in the heart 
A desire in our sleep Nemesis 
A million lies striving to be shared 
Escaping mindless leapsereos 
An afterthought formed 
First among fallen idols 
Of the pandemonial storm 
The heart beneath, the desire to die 
Scepters of Scarlet, the eternal lie 
Tormented eyes, perceiving relief 
The shadow's light won't disappear 
The mist reveals the shades of grief 
The heart beneath, inside my fear
