[intro] Who is this blonde man drawing me in so hard? [verse 1] In the shadow of the mountain, where the city fades away I, the prince of shadows, awaits the passing of the day Turning yellowed pages by the oil lamp’s golden gleam Im sitting here in the night, locked inside a lonely dream Surrounded by my ancient books and the secrets of the past I never thought I’d find a love I truly wanted to make last [pre chorus] Then one dark evening late, in the Company's Garden park a golden light enters my lonely, longing sight. A mortal heart is beating where the endless nights begin No words are even spoken, just a promise in the air Two worlds collide in silence on the loft's cold concrete stair. [chorus] My Immortal, a love story etched in stone! Through the centuries of walking through the dark alone Now we’re standing by the window, hand in hand we face the night In your arms, my dark protector, everything feels right Barefoot on the glass' edge, beneath a silver throne My Immortal, I am yours alone [verse 2] The full moon hangs like silver over Table Mountain’s crest The blonde-haired boy is leaning safe against my timeless chest His warm body glowing, our spirits stripped of pride Looking out across the bay where the restless waters tide One belongs to morning light, and one belongs to doom But tonight, there are no barriers inside this hidden room [pre chorus] We leave the heavy books behind, the scripts there on the shelf For the first time in a thousand years, I can just be myself Two silhouettes against the window glass, reflecting in the deep While the world below the mountain falls into a helpless sleep [chorus] My Immortal, a love story etched in stone! Through the centuries of walking through the dark alone Now we’re standing by the window, hand in hand, we face the night In my arms, his dark protector, everything feels right Barefoot on the glass's edge, beneath a silver throne My Immortal, I am yours alone [bridge] Time is just a phantom when I'm looking in your eyes I've lived a thousand lifetimes under ever-changing skies But you chose to share this moment, chose to hold me in the dark A mortal touch that kindled an everlasting spark! Forever... starts tonight! [chorus] My Immortal, a love story etched in stone! Through the centuries of walking through the dark alone Now we’re standing by the window, hand in hand, we face the night In your arms, my human saviour, everything feels right Barefoot on the glass's edge, beneath a silver throne You say "My Immortal... I am yours alone..." [outro] Just two shadows by the glass... Let the centuries pass... Pitch dark outside... But we have the moon. My Immortal.
