[Verse] Silk and shadows trace your skin The chandeliers sway slow on high Your laughter cuts the violin Like a memory I cannot deny [Chorus] Won’t you waltz through the ruin with me Where the candles drown in gold and glass Every whisper begs a reverie Every glance says the moment cannot last Yet your hand feels fated in mine In this ballroom caught outside of time [Verse] Your mask glows pale against the dark A vision carved in velvet grace I chase the pulse beneath the spark Though hunger hides behind your face [Chorus] Won’t you waltz through the ruin with me Where the candles drown in gold and glass Every whisper begs a reverie Every glance says the moment cannot last Yet your hand feels fated in mine In this ballroom caught outside of time [Bridge] Do not speak of dawn, my dear There is no dawn beyond these walls Let the violins drown fear And the mirrored floor erase it all If love is hunger, let it take If dreams are lies, let them break [Verse] We step as if the world is whole No war beyond the window’s light Your gaze is warm against my soul Though everything outside is night [Final Chorus] Won’t you waltz through the ruin with me Where the candles drown in gold and glass Every whisper begs a reverie Every glance says the moment cannot last Yet your hand feels fated in mine In this ballroom caught outside of time [Final Verse] So let the world fall, let it fade The night is ours, and ours to keep We dance a vow we never made And wake only if we choose to sleep
