Secrets of solitude…
Eternities have passed
Now shadows enter my mind
Uninvited, they intrude…
What do they forecast?
Is this an omen… or a sign?
Is that a fire in the sky..?
…Or just a reflection in my eyes?
You know I never could decide…
It’s not as if never tried
Secrets of solitude…
A quiet, empty room
A prison… a shelter… you decide
Is this a castle?
Or is this a tomb?
Or just a place where I can hide...?
I heard a voice the other night
Could’ve been mine, I’m not sure
It spoke of darkness and of light
And open fields and bolted doors
And I fought the war…
Secrets of solitude…
I would invite you in,
If I could, but I just can’t…
Could be my attitude,
Although genuine,
In this game I’m a debutante
I heard a voice the other night
Could’ve been mine, I’m not sure
It spoke of darkness and of light
And open fields and bolted doors
And I fought the war…
I fought the war!
