Never Told
The secret I hold shall not be told
Thou shall not know of the power that it behold
Such a secret can take a toll
I cannot take it no more
This secret must be told
Pain and tears as life goes on still holding this secret that must be told
Afraid of judgment so I don't tell a soul
But this secret is taking a toll
So old that it grew mold
But I can still feel the power that it beholds
To the grave the secret goes
Without entering the ears of one soul
