Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Black keys in a cold room Candles burning too low Footsteps on the stained stone Something waiting below (oh) [Verse 1] Silver tongue in the doorway Red wine on the altar cloth Every promise tastes sweet Till it shows you the cost I kept carving my cravings In the bark of my soul Every scar a small prayer For losing control [Pre-Chorus] I hear the choir in reverse now Every hymn twists and bends I was begging for forgiveness But I only found a friend [Chorus] I’m dancing with the devil In the ruin of my halo Spinning in the ashes Of the boy I used to know No more pleading for a pardon Let the black smoke fill my lungs I chose the thorns I chose the fire I chose the evil in my tongue I’m dancing with the devil And I won’t turn and run [Verse 2] Midnight on a Sunday Laughing as the church bells crack Every vow that I shattered Built a bridge I can’t go back I feed every temptation Like a beast in a cage Now the lock lies wide open And it’s calling my name [Pre-Chorus] All the saints fade to statues Eyes of stone Lips of dust I was clinging to their stories But I only trust my lust [Chorus] I’m dancing with the devil In the ruin of my halo Spinning in the ashes Of the boy I used to know No more pleading for a pardon Let the black smoke fill my lungs I chose the thorns I chose the fire I chose the evil in my tongue I’m dancing with the devil And I won’t turn and run [Bridge] [Low chant] We are the ones who fall We are the ones who burn We are the ones who trade Grace we’ll never earn Solo in the shadows As the stained glass rains down I drink every last echo Of a long-vanished crown (yeah) [Chorus] I’m dancing with the devil In the ruin of my halo Spinning in the ashes Of the soul I used to know No more pleading for a pardon Let the black smoke fill my lungs I chose the thorns I chose the fire I chose the hunger of my tongue I’m dancing with the devil Till my final song is sung [Outro] [Chant Growing louder] We chose the fall We chose the flame We chose the sin And we’d choose it again
