[Couplet 1]
The new year has finally arrived
Innocent with silken unmarked skin
Only for a moment then it flies
And the sound of the tattoo begins

[Refrain]
Breathing softly, it will get to the core
Breathing softly, it will get to the core
It’s indelible, all you need to know
Indelible on the body of your soul

[Couplet 2]
Everything is relative in time
The scars will heal and then what will remain
We’re left with a mysterious design
A beautiful reminder of the pain

[Refrain]
Breathing softly, it will get to the core
Breathing softly, it will get to the core
It’s indelible, all you need to know
Indelible on the body of your soul...
