Under The Cover Of Darkness 

Under the cover of darkness
Secrets are made
hidden like treasures
in the heart of earth's core

Secrets are like diamonds
dirty, tainted with impurities of life

Secrets like ocean jewels
when purged of it's sins
makes the heart shines
like pearls on the necks of stars

Secrets made and shared
under the cover of darkness
when revealed at dawn
draws the light of truth
on mountaintops

i agree...

with Ian, you should drop a few of the secrets, and I'm not sure about the line with diamonds. I thought diamonds were supposed to be a symbol of purity, and clear. ~ Gee
