[Verse 1]
Salt on her skin
Moss in her tangled hair
She sings to the empty tide
No one there
No one there
White horse eyes
Glow green in the moon’s thin seam
Drifting through the glass-black pool
Chained to her own old dream
[Chorus]
Till a fire fell down in a shower of scars
Cracked the night wide open
Set alight her dark
He hit the waves like a broken star
Demon prince in her cove of scars
(oh) she’d been alone for a thousand tides
He washed up burning on the edge of her life
Now every stone and every shard
Whispers
“Cove of the Fallen Star”
[Verse 2]
Horns in his hair
Ash on his shredded cloak
Breathing like the world might end
With every word he spoke
“I ran from the throne
From blood and a crown of flame”
She touched the bruise on his shoulder blade
And softly said his name
[Chorus]
When his fire fell down in a shower of scars
Cracked her night wide open
Set alight her dark
He hit the waves like a broken star
Demon prince in her cove of scars
(yeah) she’d been alone for a thousand tides
He washed up burning on the edge of her life
Now every stone and every shard
Sings
“Cove of the Fallen Star”
[Bridge]
“Will they drag you back?”
She asked
“if I let you stay?”
He laughed
“they can keep their throne
If you’ll keep me
Anyway” (anyway)
She offered the deep
He offered his ruined wings
Two outcasts trading curses
For whatever morning brings
[Chorus]
So let their fire rain down in a shower of scars
They can’t touch this water
Can’t unwrite these marks
He was a wound
Now he’s all her heart
Demon prince in her cove of stars
She isn’t alone for a thousand tides
He’s lying
Smiling
On the edge of her life
Now every wave and weathered scar
Keeps their cove of the fallen star
