Candles tremble in the rain Ancient hymns call out your name Silver tears on porcelain skin I let the endless dusk begin Cold desire upon my lips Sacred wine in fingertips Every prayer becomes a sin When your longing pulls me in Moonlit gardens dressed in grey Wilted roses fade away Your pale hands around my heart Like a hymn that tears apart Fallen angels kneel below In the dying amber snow Every touch becomes disease Sweet devotion never leaves I surrender everything To the dark your eyes still bring No redemption left to find Only you inside my mind Take me under blackened skies Hold my soul until it dies Kiss the sorrow from my veins Wash me clean in holy rain We are dancing through decay Lost inside this grand ballet No tomorrow left to save Only love beyond the grave Ivory statues softly weep While forgotten lovers sleep Frozen lilies drift downstream Like the remnants of a dream Ancient longing fills the air Perfume drifting everywhere In your arms I disappear Like a ghost no dawn can clear Every wound becomes divine When your lips are close to mine In this twilight we remain Bound together by the pain Take me under blackened skies Hold my soul until it dies Kiss the sorrow from my veins Wash me clean in holy rain We are dancing through decay Lost inside this grand ballet No tomorrow left to save Only love beyond the grave Lay your mourning next to mine Drink the last forbidden wine Heaven turns its face away Still our hearts refuse to stray Through the sorrow we descend To a place without an end Where the angels cannot see What you have become to me Take me under blackened skies Hold my soul until it dies Kiss the sorrow from my veins Wash me clean in holy rain We are dancing through decay Lost inside this grand ballet No tomorrow left to save Only love beyond the grave Only love beyond the grave⦠Only love beyond the grave⦠Candles flicker one by one Until every prayer is done In the dusk we fade from view Still my heart belongs to you
