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
