Steel Hearts in Shadows

[Verse] Under stars and twisted branches Lonely paths I roam Whispered secrets to the night My heart has found a home Catch her gaze across the fire Though bound to another's side In the shadows Steel hearts hang With thorn and pride [Verse 2] Moonlight paints her visage Dreams forged from coldest steel Moments stolen in the twilight A love I must conceal Her laughter echoes Haunting In the chambers of my mind A forbidden symphony So tender and confined [Chorus] Steel hearts in shadows Longing for the dawn Yearning for a touch When all hope is gone Bound by our desires In silence we remain Steel hearts in shadows Singing through the pain [Verse 3] In the forest green I wander Where the ancient giants stand Her hand entwined with another's A fate I cannot command Destiny's cruel jest A tale of iron walls and grief Yet still I dream of moments Though hollow and brief [Bridge] In secret glades I ponder On loyalty's cruel test Against the tides of sorrow My longing finds no rest For her smile A beacon In the darkness of my soul Steel hearts still beating Though never to be whole [Chorus] Steel hearts in shadows Longing for the dawn Yearning for a touch When all hope is gone Bound by our desires In silence we remain Steel hearts in shadows Singing through the pain
