Beat of Her Heart - Gungor

She was a tempest

Her beauty a storm

Oh her eyes they were filled with the sun

She would dance while I played her my songs

The earth stood while she danced alone

He was a tempest

His craving a storm

He lusted her body from deep in the grove

Enraptured or captured

Betrayed or betrothed

She would be his

She’d be his alone

So she ran, oh she ran from the satyr’s chase

She ran for her love and her life

She tred on a snake

Venom replaced both the beat of her heart and the song in mine

The beat of her heart and the song in mine

The music was morning

A requiem cry

I wept with my songs for the love of my life

It broke all the hearts of the gods in the skies

I played my guitar and the earth opened wide

How I played, oh I played in the underworld

Oh, I played for my love and her life

Oh, I pled with the gods

Give her back

Give a beat to her heart and a song to mine

The beat of her heart and the song in mine

Hades responded, a glint in his eye

I grant you your plea

You may leave with your wife

With one small request

I suggest you obey

You musn’t look back as you walk away

So we ran oh we ran to the dawning light

Oh we ran for our love and our lives

Once again I would hear the sweet sound of the beat of her heart

And the song in mine

The beat of her heart and the song in mine

My mind was a tempest

My doubt was a storm

I turned back to see

She really had come

Just as our eyes met

She faded from sight

That’s when I knew I would never find

The beat of her heart or the song in mine
