[Verse 1: Male] Come through the iron door, the rain has found your name The marble keeps our secrets; the candles guard the flame Your hand is cold as winter, yet you do not pull away The dead have waited patiently for someone like you today [Verse 1: Female] I hear the hinges crying, I can taste the dust Your fingers close around mine; tell me why I trust Those eyes beneath your silver hair are calling me below I should be running from you—why can’t I let you go? [Chorus: Duet] [Male] Stay where the roses sleep beneath the stone [Female] I feel the dark, but I’m not alone [Male] One step, beloved, and the past is through [Female] I’m scared of the grave—and I’m drawn to you [Duet] Hold me close where the cold bells ring Love is a dangerous, beautiful thing [Verse 2: Male] The portraits watch us passing, their painted mouths held still I’ll give you every silence, every shadow on the hill No chain will bind your ankle, no vow will seal your fate Just one more breath beside me at the threshold of the gate [Verse 2: Female] Your voice is like a lullaby I never meant to know My pulse is racing faster, but my feet move slow I see the fangs, I see the truth; I ought to turn and flee Yet every step into the dark feels like you’re choosing me [Bridge: Duet] [Female] If I cross this line, will morning find me? [Male] If you take my hand, the dawn can wait [Female] I can hear my heart; it’s warning me [Male] And still you meet me at the gate [Final Chorus: Duet] [Male] Stay where the roses sleep beneath the stone [Female] I feel the dark, but I’m not alone [Male] One step, beloved, and the past is through [Female] I’m scared of the grave—and I’m drawn to you [Duet] Hold me close where the cold bells ring Love is a dangerous, beautiful thing [Outro: Duet] [Female] The door swings shut; the candles sway [Male] The night has kept what the day gave away [Duet] Hand in hand where the lost bells ring Love is a dangerous, beautiful thing
