Be still, my heart, you beat too loud,
Eternalized with ages proud,
Be still, my heart, you beat too loud.

Be still, my heart, you ascertain
Sad hollowness I can’t contain,
Be still, my heart, you beat too loud.

Be still, my heart, your time has come,
You’re sorrow-worn and far from home,
Be still, my heart, you beat too loud.

Be still, my heart, you beat too loud,
What once was loved is not so proud,
Be still, my heart, you beat too loud.

Be still, my heart, your measured heat
I cannot feel, I cede defeat,
Be still, my heart, you beat too loud.

Be still, my heart, it’s time to rest
Sad hollowness of outlawed guest,
Be still, my heart, you beat too loud.

Be still, my heart, you beat too loud,
Eternity is for the proud,
Be still, my heart, you beat too loud…
