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
