There is an Earthquake inside our heart
Anytime it can fracture the palace
Of our soul and ambush us between
The two bricks of revulsion and love
There is a sleeping Volcano inside our heart
Anytime it can rise, rupture its hot lava
And burn the channel of our sweet love
With the molten rock of perpetual disgust
There is a wild Hurricane inside our heart
Anytime it can detach our loves soul
And deracinate the jungle of our love
By it's lethal ambiance of devastation
There is a Sahara Desert inside our heart
Anytime it can envelope love, with
The scorching dry sands of distrust
And burn its trust till it fades to lust
There is a Watercourse inside our heart
Anytime it can submerge our love
Beneath the loam of murky tragedy
And make us desperate evermore
