Barnabas Hearts Lyrics

Hearts Lyrics

Moving through the hills above a twisted paradise 

 The city spreads like scattered jewels across a velvet night 

 Streets below are churning, hungry and alive 

 Rainbow's end for those who win; others won't survive

 

 Stepping from a bus into this dog-eat-kitten world 

 Passing through the turnstile, a frightened, lonely girl 

 Small town misconceptions of Eden by the sea 

 Foggy dreams of youth explode in stark reality 

 The grass looked so much greener on the hills beyond her own 

 Leaving everything behind, heading out alone

 

 Momentary panic rising in the throat 

 Never turning back now, never losing hope 

 No intimidation, choking back the tears 

 Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear

 

 Captured for awhile in the nightly glitter life 

 A less than righteous carnival of dangerous delights 

 Going through the motions, playing out each part 

 Outside, cool indifference; inside, pleading hearts 

 The craving for affection is much stronger when alone 

 Character reveals herself when need cuts to the bone

 

 Momentary panic rising in the throat 

 Never turning back now, never losing hope 

 Those who wait in solitude must learn to persevere 

 Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear

 

 Caught up in the magic of a perfect summer's night 

 The city spreads like scattered jewels beyond the realms of sight 

 Onshore breeze is blowing, warm and whispering 

 Heartbeat pound of distant surf completes the fantasy 

 The rainbow's end is always near to those with ears to hear 

 Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear

 

 No storm lasts forever, darkness cannot last 

 The iron bars of evil are shattering like glass 

 The presence of a shadow only means the light is near 

 Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear
