(Verse 1)
Dust motes dance in the moon-thin light, on tapestries of dread
A silent crypt where shadows breathe, where the restless walk the dead
The castle groans on splintered bones, a whisper in the stone
Echoes of a king forgotten, on a shattered, empty throne
(Chorus)
In the crypts of whispered sorrows, where the cold earth starts to weep
A spectral requiem for a love, the grave refuses to keep
Ominous chords in the vaulted dark, a haunting, low refrain
And the last of noble houses, drowns in the haunted rain
(Verse 2)
The scent of mildew and of rust, hangs heavy in the air
A chilling draft from a broken pane, a breath of silent prayer
Her voice, a phantom melody, a dirge for what has been
A gothic ghost in the fading glow, of a world steeped deep in sin
(Chorus)
In the crypts of whispered sorrows, where the cold earth starts to weep
A spectral requiem for a love, the grave refuses to keep
Ominous chords in the vaulted dark, a haunting, low refrain
And the last of noble houses, drowns in the haunted rain
(Bridge)
The clock has stopped at midnight, the final bell has tolled
For a weary soul and a broken heart, and a story left untold
The gargoyles weep on the crumbling walls, their stone tears black and slow
As the moon sinks low on the dying land, and the ancient currents flow
(Chorus)
In the crypts of whispered sorrows, where the cold earth starts to weep
A spectral requiem for a love, the grave refuses to keep
Ominous chords in the vaulted dark, a haunting, low refrain
And the last of noble houses, drowns in the haunted rain
