Theme
A deceptive love ballad that actually explores hypocrisy and indoctrination. The song critiques people who promote righteous, God-fearing values while practicing none of them—pursuing only cash and power. It's a meditation on how darkness hides within seemingly noble institutions and how people are manipulated by false prophets wrapped in religious garb.
Lyrics
When the summer dies
Severing the ties
I'm with you always
...Always
Will you walk the line?
My path serpentine
Remember always
That love is all you need
Tell me who you want to be
And I will set you free
There is a darkness at the heart of my love
That runs cold, that runs deep
The darkness at the heart of my love for you
Will you spill the wine?
To summon the divine
I'm with you always
...Always
Now paint a pair of eyes
And let us watch as it dries
Remember always
That love is all you need
Tell me who you want to be
And I will set you free
There's a darkness at the heart of my love
That runs cold, runs deep
The darkness at the heart of my love so bold, so sweet
There's a darkness at the heart of my love
That runs cold, runs deep
The darkness at the heart of my love for you
Remember always
That love is all you need
Tell me who you want to be
And I will set you free
There's a darkness at the heart of my love
That runs cold, runs deep
The darkness at the heart of my love so bold, so sweet
There's a darkness at the heart of my love
That runs cold, runs deep
The darkness at the heart of my love so bold, so sweet
And all this time you knew
That I would put you through
The darkness at the heart of my love for you
When the summer dies
Severing the ties
I'm with you always, always
Paint a pair of eyes
Let's watch as it dries
I'm with you always, always
