I once held a secret hand and the women cried
Will you please hold us?
Then (I) left.

She once took a secret kiss from the poor boys lips
As a last request.

Awake! Wide Awake!

Holy special child could not even smile
Holy special child could not even smile

I once heard a tolling bell, and the women cried
Can you please save us?

Awake! Wide Awake!

He once wrote down holy words in a golden book
That may save us all
Then left.

Awake! Wide Awake!

    Frontman Aaron Stainthorpe says "'Secret Kiss' is the final and lasting mark on the soul any human will feel when the lights have dulled and nothing meaningful remains for them. All religion features a shadow creature who arrives at the point of extinction and the release of the human soul, to either guide them to majesty or allow them do fall eternally into the ether."
