[Verse 1] The Seine is a black vein, pumping through the stone We’re wandering the labyrinth, looking for the bone The iron tower is a needle, piercing through the gray Sewing up the shadows of a long-forgotten day The streetlamps are the eyes of cats, flickering in the hall Watching every secret as it hits the wet wall [Verse 2] I see the soft parade of ghosts, dancing on the quay Washed up from the catacombs, out into the sea Every alley is a mouth, breathing out the dust The smell of old tobacco and the scent of ancient rust Don't look for a destination, don't look for a sign Just follow where the river draws its crooked, velvet line [Hypnotic Hook] Lost in the velvet... Lost in the iron... The city is a fever, burning in the rain. Yeah, we’re just shadows... In the labyrinth again. [Spoken Word / Poem] "I walked past the gates of Pere Lachaise... The statues were whispering in a language of moss and cold. They asked me for the time, But I told them time was just a skin... And the city was shedding it. I saw a lizard on the pavement, Drinking the neon light from a puddle of oil. It told me the way out... Was to go deeper in." [Bridge] The bridges are aching under the weight of the night We’re chasing the ghost of a flickering light One more street, one more turn in the dark Leaving behind every dying spark! [Guitar Solo] [Hypnotic Hook] Lost in the velvet... Lost in the iron... The city is a fever, burning in the rain. Yeah, we’re just shadows... In the labyrinth again. [Outro] Deep in the stone... Deep in the gray... The labyrinth... Never lets you go...
