In the Secret of the Lie
Gerry Van Der Linden
Gerry Van Der Linden
In the car of flowers
in the train of milky ways
the lingering landscapes
roaming mountains
(fields of trespassing future!)
Where the sun splashes out rays
seawave reaches your face
earth and soil unite
day mingles with night
(children are rushing home!)
When love covers your eyes
truth will taste the lies
your body will carry
the weight of your ways
in the lie of the secret
in the secret of the lie
you’ll lay.
