Ace on an unbroken line, Ace of Hearts!
Mariner of the time, another Ace of Hearts!
Sweet procession of cards that you take
From each Victorian box that you make!
You break the Ace of Hearts that break too much
The Hearts that cannot be refused on your watch
Break the Ace of Hz!
Draw closer to me, Ace of Hearts!
Aces among the tame, another Ace of Hearts!
Hearts to make yourself free... Yes, you will!
Make free of the cities where time stands still!
You break the Ace of Hearts that break too much
The bombs that cannot be defused by your touch
Break the Ace of Hz!
Break Aces of Hearts!
Break all Aces of Hearts!
Mariner of the time, another Ace of Hearts!
Sweet procession of cards that you take
From each Victorian box that you make!
The Hearts that cannot be refused on your watch
Break the Ace of Hz!
Aces among the tame, another Ace of Hearts!
Hearts to make yourself free... Yes, you will!
Make free of the cities where time stands still!
The bombs that cannot be defused by your touch
Break Aces of Hearts!
Break all Aces of Hearts!

"Ace of Hearts" is the kind of double-meaning with Hertz, it's about a man who is probably a womanizer, who simply goes around breaking women's hearts. So the "break the ace of hertz" is about getting revenge on this man.
Shouldn't it be "Ace of Hertz", and not "Ace of Heartz"? I imagine that pronouncing Hertz as "Heartz" is the British pronunciation of the word, but it would still be spelled the same.
I was listening to the song while reading the lyrics and I caught a mistake in the OP's lyrics. On the fourth line, where you have "From each Victorian box that you make!" it's really: From each Victorian box that you break!
This also makes better sense, since a "Victorian Box" is made of cards. To TAKE cards away from a Victorian Box would BREAK it.
The lyrics I hear with appropriate spelling and punctuation:
Ace on an unbroken line, Ace of Hearts Mariner of the time, another Ace of Hearts Sweet procession of cards, that you take From each Victorian box, that you break
You break the Ace of Hearts, that break too much Hearts that cannot be refused, on your watch Break the Ace of Hearts (hearts)
Shelter closer to me, Ace of Hearts Aces among the tame, another Ace of Hearts Hearts to make yourself free, yes you will Break free of the cities, where time stands still
You break the Ace of Hearts, that break too much The bombs that cannot be defused, by your touch
Break the Ace of Hearts (hearts) Break Aces of Hearts (hearts) Break all Aces of Hearts (hearts) (Repeat)
I'm really not sure of the "shelter closer..." lyric though. It actually sounds like "shelt yell closer..." but that doesn't make sense.
