The Rose Window

My Heart Burns 
Listen Here

Lyrics and music composed and performed by Katie Rose
 

My heart burns
In the face of oppression
Singing truth 
To the lies of transgression
My heart burns

And as it burns
It turns towards the light
Firing strength to forge another way
Rising bright to meet another day

And as the flames grow higher
My heart becomes a pyre
Of love
And in the core of the flame
Sits the darkness that has no name
Calling me home
Calling me home

For my heartsong
Is where I belong
My heart song
Burns true and strong
For my heartsong
Is where I belong
My heart song

My. heart burns
With the flaming torch of freedom
And the hope of redemption
My heart burns

And as it burns
It turns towards the light
Firing strength to forge another way
Rising bright to meet another day

And as the flames grow higher
My heart becomes a pyre
Of love
And in the core of the flame
Sits the darkness that has no name
Calling me home
Calling me home

For my heartsong
Is where I belong
My heart song
Burns true and strong
For my heartsong
Is where I belong
My heart song

My heart burns
My heart burns

Inspired by ’s Ink & Flame writing course, this song continues the fiery explorations of my album Flame. The flame-red heart feather flickered into view on a walk through South London streets.
