Beggars and thieves
People on the street
Insight of the Heart
Inside the people I meet
Free form the void
My one love returns
A gift from the Outsider
The mark, it burns

If you're good; if you're bad
Or somewhere in-between
No matter what you've done
No matter if you're clean
Try to keep in the dark
You can't hide from your past
So much wisdom to impart...

It's the beating of the Heart

Short tempers around
And sometimes far worse
Fingers for a crown
Or coin from a purse
Boots on the ground
Guards and their hounds
They pray on the weak
The ill and the meek
If you're good; if you're bad
Or somewhere in-between
No matter what you've done
No matter if you're clean
Try to keep in the dark
You can't hide from your past
So much wisdom to impart...

It's the beating of the Heart

Burning buildings, a life saved
(Beating of the heart)
Other hardships that are braved
Words from an Empress now passed
How long must the burden last?

...It's the beating of the Heart
