(Intro)
(Slow, mournful piano solo. In the background, the sound of falling rain and a low, distorted bass. Strings enter after a moment.)
(Verse 1)
In the garden of dead roses, where time has ceased to flow
Your whisper like a frozen blade, like first and filthy snow
The clock upon the tower falls silent, shunning all our sins
Leaving only dust behind, and the scent of bitter wines
Moonlight silver carves a path through velvet shroud of clouds
We are prisoners of these walls, wrapped in marble shrouds
(Pre-chorus)
Seek no light, for it lies with every breath...
In my veins flows only black mist and death.
(Chorus)
In the arms of the night, where dawn shall never wake
Your name is like a thorn, a myth for sorrow’s sake
Let us dance once more upon the edge of sleep
Where blood tastes like iron, and the dust we keep
In the crimson twilight... forever deep.
(Verse 2)
Extinguish the candles, their glow wounds the eye
Do you prefer this silence, where the shadows lie?
Memory is a noose, tightened by our fear
All dreams turned to ashes, year after year
Stay here with me, where shadows feed on pain
In the kingdom of despair, I – your hollow king – shall reign.
(Bridge)
Can you hear them calling out our names?
Voices from beyond the grave, from beyond the ancient frames...
Leave this world behind!
Nothing lasts forever, save for what throbs within
This sweet agony... this eternal game of sin!
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
In the arms of the night, where dawn shall never wake
Your name is like a thorn, a myth for sorrow’s sake
Let us dance once more upon the edge of sleep
Where blood tastes like iron, and the dust we keep
In the crimson twilight... forever deep.
(Outro)
Forever deep...
In the shadows...
I fall asleep...
