Hearts Lyrics - Barnabas

Moving through the hills above a twisted paradise 

The city spreads like scattered jewels across a velvet night 

Streets below are churning, hungry and alive 

Rainbow's end for those who win; others won't survive 

Stepping from a bus into this dog-eat-kitten world 

Passing through the turnstile, a frightened, lonely girl 

Small town misconceptions of Eden by the sea 

Foggy dreams of youth explode in stark reality 

The grass looked so much greener on the hills beyond her own 

Leaving everything behind, heading out alone 

Momentary panic rising in the throat 

Never turning back now, never losing hope 

No intimidation, choking back the tears 

Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear 

Captured for awhile in the nightly glitter life 

A less than righteous carnival of dangerous delights 

Going through the motions, playing out each part 

Outside, cool indifference; inside, pleading hearts 

The craving for affection is much stronger when alone 

Character reveals herself when need cuts to the bone 

Momentary panic rising in the throat 

Never turning back now, never losing hope 

Those who wait in solitude must learn to persevere 

Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear 

Caught up in the magic of a perfect summer's night 

The city spreads like scattered jewels beyond the realms of sight 

Onshore breeze is blowing, warm and whispering 

Heartbeat pound of distant surf completes the fantasy 

The rainbow's end is always near to those with ears to hear 

Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear 

No storm lasts forever, darkness cannot last 

The iron bars of evil are shattering like glass 

The presence of a shadow only means the light is near 

Hell has no device against the hearts that feel no fear
