Release

Written by Si Atherley

Another song

In the temple of your heart
In the bosom of your mind
Your beauty and your spark
You’ve got me in a big bind

I’m looking in my heart
I’m searching in my mind
I’m waiting in the dark
For a love I’ll never find

The kings of ancient Rome
You burned them with desire
You pulled them from the throne
Brought their city to the fire

Like the phoenix you did rise
From the ashes of the pyre
Lit the night with fireflies
Caught your wing upon the spire

In the oceans of your mind
We are drifting far apart
My compass spins and finds
The land of broken hearts

A lonely desert island
Where I lose all sense of time
Your mirage turns to sand
Still I dream that you are mine


[CHORUS]

[M8]

I’m waiting for the healing
To cure me of this fever
Oh kill these painful feelings
And make me a believer

I want to bury my desire
Let earth absorb the lightning
But I can’t put out this fire
The intensity is frightening

In the mirrors of your mind
Your heart of glass in pieces
I watched your soul unwind
Like Picasso’s masterpieces


[BREAK]

In the temple of your heart 
In the bosom of your mind 
Your beauty and your spark 
You have me in a bind 

I’m searching in the dark
For a love I’ll never find
A prisoner of my heart
A prisoner of my mind
