[Verse] The velvet rope is barbed wire wrapped in silk Black-lacquered lips check the list for the guest (are you invited) She grabs my wrist (Stamps your skin) marked with an iron rose It burns cold She smiles she knows how the story ends [Verse 2] Candlewax dripping down the exposed brick Ash and absinthe heavy on the tongue The bass kicks in (hard and sweet) A heart arrhythmia ( feeling the beat) And she leads me under Down where the air tastes like sin(yes mmmm) [Pre-Chorus] Don’t look at the mirrors (there’s nothing to see) Don’t ask for the water (it isn’t what it seems) The lights strobing red like an artery cut We’re all lining up just to keep our mouths shut [Chorus] Welcome to The Sepulchre Where the dead come to sweat Leave your soul at the coat check We haven’t broken you yet Lay your pulse on the altar Let the hunger find a home We trade the holy for the hollow And drink the life out of your bones In The Sepulchre [Verse 3] Neon halos buzzing over the bar High collars hiding the bruises of last week's love Curtains move and wave as body's arch The floor is slick spilled drinks (and debauchery) I see the hierarchy in the strobe light (fed) I feel the static before I feel the touch A gaze heavy as she comes in for a touch [Bridge] You cut through the crowd (no need no escape) No friction, no sound ( it's already to late) Modern predator Nothing dusty or old about you You don’t ask permission You take what you need "How much of yourself are you willing to spill?" [Drop] It’s not a kiss (It’s a harvest) It’s not a sin (It’s a service) Needle point precision The euphoria of the incision Take the noise Take the light Take the edge off the rest of my life [Synth Solo] [Chorus] Welcome to The Sepulchre Where the dead come to sweat Leave your soul at the coat check We haven’t broken you yet Lay your pulse on the altar Let the hunger find a home We trade the holy for the hollow And drink the life out of your bones [Outro] In The Sepulchre (Take the rest) Every shiver is a vow (We haven't broken you yet) Every shiver is a vow In The Sepulchre....
