Closer to the Heart (2:55)Side 2. Madrigal (2:35)And the men who hold high placesMust be the ones to startTo mould a new realityCloser to the HeartThe Blacksmith and the ArtistReflect it in their artForge their creativityCloser to the HeartPhilosophers and PloughmenEach must know his partTo sow a new mentalityCloser to the HeartYou can be the CaptainI will draw the ChartSailing into destinyCloser to the HeartWhen the dragons grow too mightyTo slay with pen or swordI grow weary of the battleAnd the storm I walk towardWhen all around is madnessAnd there's no safe port in viewI long to turn my path homewardTo stop awhile with youWhen life becomes so barrenAnd as cold as winter skiesThere's a beacon in the darknessIn a distant pair of eyesIn vain to search for orderIn vain to search for truthBut these things can still be givenYour love has shown me proof
