[Verse 1] You wear your halo like it's tailor-made, But curiosity slips through every thread you've laid. I've seen that look behind your patient smile, You've wanted something dangerous for quite a while. Come a little closer, don't you be afraid, Silk upon your skin, let your innocence cascade. You can call me trouble if it helps you breathe, But every whispered "no" sounds sweeter underneath. [Pre-Chorus] Don't hide your heartbeat, I already know. Every secret garden longs for something that won't grow. If heaven asks where all your virtues have been, Just tell them you got lost beneath my grin. [Chorus] Take my hand, don't look behind, Every perfect angel leaves a dream confined. Cardinal Sins are calling your name tonight, Tasting the dark is such a lovely sin. Say your confession with your lips on mine, You'll forget the morning when you cross my line. [Verse 2] Now your halo hangs beside the door, You don't wear it like you did before. Your laughter tastes like midnight in a glass, You never ask how long these pleasures last. Do my little horns still frighten you at all? Or are they just a crown whenever shadows fall? My forked tongue paints promises so sweet, And now your heartbeat dances perfectly with me. [Pre-Chorus] Every prayer grows quieter than before, You don't kneel for heaven anymore. Whisper your confession nice and slow, Some doors were never meant to close. [Chorus] Take my hand, don't look behind, Every perfect angel leaves a dream confined. Cardinal Sins are calling your name tonight, Tasting the dark is such a lovely sin. Say your confession with your lips on mine, You'll forget the morning when you cross my line. [Bridge] I never lied... I simply smiled. You crowned temptation with your own desire. You chose the flame before you felt the fire. Now every mirror knows your face, And even heaven wouldn't recognize your grace. Tell me... does forever really seem so long? When you already know where you belong. [Chorus] Take my hand, don't look behind, There's no returning once our souls align. Cardinal Sins have written your name tonight, Tasting the dark is such a lovely sin. No absolution, no disguise, You found forever staring through my eyes. Stay with me until the stars grow dim... After all... you chose to let me in.
