Here within my walls Everything is shut And no one will intrude Faced with my silent walls, not a whisper will enter Within the borders of my home No obstacle lies Within the room's many paths No sun will burn
And no shadow will dim
And no storm will gush And no rain will wash And no small opening will frighten And not a thing can burn my walls For everything is protected From any menace at the gate Within my walls There is no one who will leave
Here within my walls Silence lurks Grey and comforting Against the threatening street Is a drawn curtain and candlelight Here within my walls there is a memory, A letter under the door And not a voice to cry And not a soul to answer
And no pain will remain For my walls are a comforting white And there are no stains of blood Or bruises Or tears of the heart Of course all is foretold - you know Within the walls no flower Will wilt before its time
