My heart is guarded by a labyrinth
of spirals of razor barbed wire
Moats filled with electric eels and serpents
Iron plated stonewalls one hundred feet high
Barricades made of previous heart slayer's skeletons

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth
of poisonous snakes and molten lava pits
Defensive positions by undertakers
Burning ambers and cliffs of fire
Towering embankments of victims past

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth
of sharp stalagmites and stalactites
Ruthless scavengers of the plains
Barriers of vast parched desert
Horrid echoing screams from the tortured

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth
of armed battalion volunteers
Ballistas and mangonels abreast
Columns of aimed artillery
Thousands of murder holes

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth
of nothing that can't be conquered
Decimated and dismantled
Destroyed and disassembled

My heart
has been seized by you
