Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] [soft acoustic guitar Lonely violin line] Pale as winter Still as stone Curtain breathing You don’t [Verse 1] Candles drown in heavy air Wax like tears along the floor Velvet drapes like folded wings Shadows lean to hear her snore Raven hair around her throat Halo twisted out of thread I can’t tell if this is grace Or a vow the dark has said [Chorus] She is the sleeper Bride of the deep Cradled in a fevered Deathless sleep Beautiful terror Quiet and cruel Every breath a blade against the rule Stay My heart Don’t wake her name Love like this would burn the world in flame Eerie and holy Fragile and steep I kneel and watch the sleeper keep her sleep [Verse 2] Marble lips that never bruise Murmurs caught beneath her tongue Every clock forgets to strike Here Where time was overrun Moths in circles Slow and dumb Orbit round her covered eyes I would trade a thousand dawns For one glance she’d recognize [Chorus] She is the sleeper Bride of the deep Cradled in a fevered Deathless sleep Beautiful terror Quiet and cruel Every breath a blade against the rule Stay My heart Don’t wake her name Love like this would burn the world in flame Eerie and holy Fragile and steep I kneel and watch the sleeper keep her sleep [Bridge] [band drops Just acoustic and violin] If I call Will thunder answer? (answer) If I touch Will heaven break? (break) [band surges back in Double-kick] I am the coward at her altar Praying her soul Never Wakes [Chorus] She is the sleeper Bride of the deep Cradled in a fevered Deathless sleep Beautiful terror Quiet and cruel Every breath a blade against the rule Stay My heart Don’t wake her name Love like this would burn the world in flame Eerie and holy Fragile and steep I live and die where The sleeper Keeps her sleep
