[Verse 1] The velvet curtains keep the light at bay Dust lies on the books from a forgotten day You trace idle circles on the misty pane Searching for a face erased by the rain The clock upon the wall stopped at three And the cold inside this room is the only decree [Pre-Chorus] No color... No sound... Just the echo of what we found... [Chorus] We dance among the ruins of a godless shrine Spinning in the dark, your ghosts entwined with mine It’s a static waltz, a scream held inside In the mercury mirror, the reflection has died (Has died... has died...) [Verse 2] We walk through the streets where the fog is the floor Holding dead flowers, wanting nothing more The gargoyles watch from the cathedral heights Stone smiles in a world of cold metal lights Your makeup is running like black rain While the city outside goes down the drain [Chorus] We dance among the ruins of a godless shrine Spinning in the dark, your ghosts entwined with mine It’s a static waltz, a scream held inside In the mercury mirror, the reflection has died [Bridge] Eyes closed tight... (don't wake up now) The day is a poison... (throw the cure out) We are wax statues in the burning sun Waiting for the end... waiting for the end to come... [Chorus] We dance among the ruins... (until the dawn) Spinning in the dark... (with nothing to mourn) It’s a static waltz... In the mercury mirror... we are gone. [Outro] We are gone... Ashes and dust... Just shadows...
