[Verse 1] [Male] You were the Queen of a heartfelt home [Male] Now hands of ice and a heart turned cold [Female] We swore a pact in the Lethe’s tide Where the myths of old and our shadows hide [Male] But the gods were jealous of the pact we made So they wove a curtain from the night’s own shade [Female] A silk horizon, a wall of frost Where every kiss is forever lost. [Pre-Chorus] (Guitars begin a rhythmic, funeral-march chug) [Male] I trace the embroidery of your ghost [Female] On the border where I love you most [Female] One thin layer of haunted lace [Male] Between my breath and your absent face. [Chorus] [Female] Lifting back the forbidden veil [Male] I find the altar where our stars turned pale [Female] A mythic tragedy, a hollow prize I see the ruin in your ancient eyes! (Screamed) [Male] Tear it down! Break the iron seal! [Male] There’s one thing, I CAN’T FEEL!… [Female] Lost in the weave of a black-lace sky Behind the forbidden veil, we die! [Male] WE DIE… [Verse 2] (Atmospheric synth pads; vocals are a raspy whisper) [Female] They say Orpheus looked and lost it all [Male] But I’d split the heavens just to watch you fall [Female] Back to the arms that were once our home [Male] Before you were dust and I was strong [Female] I’ve spilled the wine and I’ve cracked the glass [Male] Watching the centuries of silence pass [Female] You’re a legend now, a name in a book [Male] But I’m the widower with the terrified look. [Bridge] (Massive breakdown: The tempo slows to a crawl) [Female] The pomegranates rot on the floor... [Male] I don’t want the myths anymore! (Screamed) [Male] GIVE HER BACK! [Female] TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING! [Male] STITCH THE WOUND! BURN THE VEIL! [Final Chorus] [Female] Lifting back the forbidden veil [Male] I find the altar where our stars turned pale [Female] A mythic tragedy, a hollow prize [Male] I see the ruin in your ancient eyes! (High-pitched, soaring vocal) [Male] Our love is the key! The veil is the lock! [Outro] (Sound of a heavy stone door closing, followed by a single, mournful violin) Two souls divided by a thread of night... One in the shadow, one in the light. Forever... In endless flight… (Fade out on the sound of a heartbeat slowing down)
