UNTIL OUR LAST BREATH
(A Gothic Love Song)
Verse 1
In the velvet hush of midnight’s cathedral,
Where the world goes quiet and the shadows confess,
I found your name in the marrow of silence,
A sacred ache I never learned to suppress.
The candles weep along forgotten corridors,
Their gold throats trembling in the cold,
And every mirror holds a funeral promise
Of love too fierce to ever grow old.
Pre-Chorus
Let the wolves keep their hymns in the distance,
Let the storm stitch the sky into black,
I would choose you in ruin and rapture,
Even if heaven refused to look back.
Chorus
Until Our Last Breath, I am yours,
In bone-white devotion, in shadowy grace.
If the world turns to ash, I will hold you,
And kiss the apocalypse sweet on your face.
Until Our Last Breath, my love,
Let the darkness bear witness, let the heavens regret,
For I would die a thousand deaths beside you,
Just to live where your soul has slept.
⸻
Verse 2
Your laughter is smoke in a graveyard garden,
A rosary of sparks across my tongue,
You wear the night like a velvet crown,
And I kneel where the doomed have sung.
Your eyes are relics, ravens’ scripture,
Ink-deep, holy, and unafraid,
And I am undone by the quiet violence
Of the vows your silence made.
Pre-Chorus
So mark my ribs with your whispered fever,
Write your truth in the hollow of me,
If love is a curse, then curse me forever,
Because I’ve never wanted to be free.
Chorus
Until Our Last Breath, I am yours,
In bone-white devotion, in shadowy grace.
If the world turns to ash, I will hold you,
And kiss the apocalypse sweet on your face.
Until Our Last Breath, my love,
Let the darkness bear witness, let the heavens regret,
For I would die a thousand deaths beside you,
Just to live where your soul has slept.
⸻
Bridge
Let time collapse like a dying star,
Let the saints avert their eyes,
We’ll dance through the ruins, hand in hand,
Like sinners dressed in paradise.
If death comes knocking with silver fingers,
I’ll laugh and lace my hand in yours,
Because love like ours is a plague and a blessing,
And it always endures.
⸻
Final Chorus (bigger, slower)
Until Our Last Breath, I am yours,
Not even eternity could pull me away.
I’ll haunt every lifetime that dares to forget us,
I’ll return in the black of each day.
Until Our Last Breath, my love,
When the last bell rings and the last light dies,
I’ll still be here, teeth to your promise,
With forever burning behind my eyes.
Outro
And when the earth has swallowed the sun…
I’ll still love you.
Until Our Last Breath.
