Story Behind The Song

He left before his time - Chris Ford was a great bass player, very timely rhythm player & fucking great songwriter. His death a few years ago, was a shock; but we all have to go sometime. Chris wrote the riff then forgot about it - I didn't.

Lyrics

SECRETS

Roses they grow in the sands of time
Sun beams above the clouds
Love is locked in a vault divine
Hearts are wrapped in shrouds

Faces seek and insides find
The way to love again
But hidden in that darkened mind
Are secrets trapped within
Sudden rush and out they pour
To behave as they believe
With no thought of the prey they lure
They only seek to please

Damaged heart sees the shine
Believes that it will heal
So on it moves toward the line
Where things are not quite real
Too late now the die is cast
Heart is trapped inside
The secrets move around until
The passion pulse subsides

Tearing at the tired heart
Emotions cruel and raw
Begin to chew at every part
Until they hit a flaw

Sudden stop the heart decides
That pain is for the fools
These secrets teach us how to live
We have to learn the rules
