This savage heart is wild and un bridled,
wanting things that can’t be named.
This savage heart behaves like a child,
running barefoot and untamed.
This savage heart won’t choose the road,
that the other hearts have tread.
This savage heart won’t make it easy,
it won’t let itself be lead.
This savage heart is filled with passion,
that drives it forward hard and fast.
This savage heart will daily command me,
inside this life which I’ve been cast.
This savage heart will go on beating,
until all desire is a thing of the past.
