The night... is a mirror. Don't look back. Just... move. [Verse 1] The glass is cracked, the ice is thin A shadow moves where you begin No name, no face, just a silhouette A debt that hasn't been paid yet. The city breathes in neon blue I'm walking straight through the middle of you One step left, one step right Into the velvet, into the night. [Pre-Chorus] Can you hear the clock? It's ticking in the dark. Can you feel the shock? Before the spark. Wait... Wait... Wait... [Chorus] Oh, it's a game of velvet and lead Where the living are dead and the dead are fed. Spin the wheel, watch the colors bleed, You're exactly where you need to be. Round and round, the world spins slow Nowhere left for the truth to go... Velvet and lead, velvet and lead Follow the sound... Follow the thread [Verse 2] A whisper in the crowded room A flower blooming in the gloom The gun is cold, the wine is sweet The rhythm of the falling feet. They say the devil knows your name But I just play the same old game A chessboard made of smoke and dust Betrayal is the only trust. [Bridge] Fade... fade... fade... Into the grey... The mask falls off... There is no way... RUN! [Chorus] Oh, it's a game of velvet and lead Where the living are dead and the dead are fed Spin the wheel, watch the colors bleed You're exactly where you need to be. Round and round, the world spins slow Nowhere left for the truth to go Velvet and lead, velvet and lead Follow the sound... Follow the thread [Outro] Just the thread... Just the lead... Velvet...
