[Verse 1] She rests where the black stone keeps the cold White silk torn at the hem, gold thread gone A white streak cuts through her tower of hair And the storm leans close to hear her laugh [Pre-Chorus] A seam at her temple, a pulse in her hand She lifts her chin like she owns the land [Chorus] Bride of the storm, with a scarlet half-smile Come a little closer, stay for a while Lightning writes her name across the room She wears the night like a tailored perfume [Verse 2] One heel poised above the carved-up floor Black lace caught on the chaise’s clawed arm Her smoky eyes make a promise, then hide She knows what the thunder keeps inside [Pre-Chorus] A stitched pale cheek, a heartbeat below She takes your hand and decides where you go [Chorus] Bride of the storm, with a scarlet half-smile Come a little closer, stay for a while Lightning writes her name across the room She wears the night like a tailored perfume [Bridge] No vows were spoken beneath that spire Only rain on the glass and a live blue wire She turns, and the whole dark house obeys A beautiful danger in torn white lace [Final Chorus] Bride of the storm, with a scarlet half-smile Come a little closer, stay for a while Lightning writes her name across the room She keeps the last spark, she decides who blooms [Outro] The tower goes quiet; her eyes stay bright She smiles as the storm folds into night
