Gungor - Beat of Her Heart lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus 3] 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 [Verse 5] 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
