Our Little Secret

My darkest secret

My orb that glows inside

My crystal kryptonite

The chest without a key

The fire burning slow and fierce

The illumination of my core

Confession does no justice

My darkest secret spins my globe

Intertwines my elements

But alas my secret is no secret

My secret feeds my hunger

My secret feeds yours too

Our little secret is vital

Without it we are desolate

Like a sea without waves

Or an animal without legs

My secret greases our machine

You see my secret is no secret

My secret is the human condition

For the hunger of power is no secret
