Lyrics
Your throne was built on a mountain of lies!
A velvet veil draped over hollow eyes!
I offered the nectar, you offered the blade!
A ghost in the chapel of the debt never paid!
The incense is bitter, the candles burn cold!
A story of treason that’s centuries old!
Fake love is a crown of jagged glass!
Watching the seasons of the winter pass!
You were the shadow, I was the flame!
Now only the ashes remember your name!
I carved your name in the skin of the night!
But you were the darkness that swallowed the light!
The vows that you whispered were poison and grit!
A funeral pyre that you already lit!
Begone to the void where the hollow hearts dwell!
A queen of the ruins in a beautiful hell!
You were never there...
Just a trick of the moon...
A hole in the air...
A silent, dead tune...
The sepulcher is open! The gold has turned to lead!
The words of the living are the songs of the dead!
I shred the memory! I shatter the glass!
I watch your ghost in the mirror pass!
Victory in solitude! Fury in the frost!
Finding the power in everything lost!
Fake love is a crown of jagged glass!
Watching the seasons of the winter pass!
You were the shadow, I was the flame!
Now only the ashes remember your name!
