- hideous heart! -
- hideous heart! -
...
- hideous heart! ...-

They say your ailing doves get caught
They say her peace will make you weak
They now obtain your words by fraud
And modulate them as they speak

- heart! -
- hideous heart! -
- hideous heart! ...-

Beyond her walls I shatter mine
Towards her charming lies I crawl
Her heart got sore as she found mine
Into her liquid arms I fall

... and now - again - hark!
louder! louder! louder! LOUDER!
"Villains!"
"dissemble no more! I admit the deed! tear up the planks!
here, here! it is the beating of his hideous heart!" ...

Her noiseless treads delight my ears
I bury dreams along her shore
In radiant black her gliding tears
Under her surface so much more

... And still - the men - chatted - pleasantly, and smiled
- Was it possible - they heard not? ...

Beyond her walls I shatter mine
Towards her charming lies I crawl
Her heart got sore as she found mine
Into her liquid arms I fall

... And still - the men - chatted - pleasantly, and smiled
- Was it possible - they heard not?
- heart! -
- hideous heart! -
- hideous heart! -
- hideous heart! -
