He whispered a secret in my ear
as i passed him by
he was so near
that i could tell that he lies
he had a black heart
that made shiver
he was so smart
he made me think he was a giver
instead of a taker
he told me that he took a life
of a pranker
with a knife
i didn't belive a word he said
and i told him so
so he took my life with lead
and now i know
that i was right
because he told me
in the light
when he was down on his knee
a secret of life
and that if he hurt me
he would take his life with a knife
but when the words passed his lips
i told him a secret
the words had slipped
i loved another and not him
i said it was a secret of love
because it was his kin
that i loved
instead of him
and now i lay
in the oceans din
during the day
with his kin
by my side
dead together
because we lied
about the love we had together
a secret that died
but lived with us
in the night
