Intro – soft orchestral swell, no vocals] [Low strings, gentle piano, slow build] [Verse 1] Queens in black lace… drifting through midnight halls Perfume and secrets… echo off velvet walls We smile in silence… diamonds and quiet grace But don’t be mistaken… we’ve learned to wear this face [Verse 2] Whispers like shadows… trailing from room to room Champagne confessions… fading too soon, too soon We’ve played the heartbreak… we’ve danced the masquerade Now we’re the authors… of every move we’ve made [Pre-Chorus] Oh… we were the dreamers once Oh… we were the ones who believed [Chorus] Queens in black lace… we don’t fall apart We stitch up the cracks in a porcelain heart Soft as a whisper… sharp as a knife We’ve lived every chapter they call a life Queens in black lace… we rise from the ache No more illusions left for them to take We don’t need saving… we don’t need grace We’re writing our story in black lace [Verse 3] Candles are burning… long after eyes have closed We see the truth now… in every hand we’ve held They called us fragile… they called us incomplete Now hear the silence… it bends beneath our feet [Bridge – slightly more dramatic lift] And if you think we’re broken… You’ve never seen us heal There’s power in the stillness… There’s fire we conceal [Break – instrumental swell, strings rise] [Final Chorus] Queens in black lace… we don’t fall apart We carry the weight with a steady heart Grace in the darkness… strength in disguise A thousand untold truths behind our eyes Queens in black lace… no tears left to waste We’ve danced with the ghosts we no longer chase No more illusions… no need to explain We wear every scar like a royal chain [Outro – slow, fading] Queens… in black lace… (soft echo) We remain…
