[Verse 1] Black vines on the stone Moon caught in the shattered glass Her shadow on the balcony Watching as the torches pass Old bells never ringing Dust asleep on every stair Name of every missing son Folded in a maiden’s prayer [Chorus] Sanguine smile Open door She drinks the brave And calls for more Every vow Every sin She pulls you close And drags you in Sanguine smile Silver bite You lose your soul But feel so right Fear in your throat Heat in your veins Crawling to her Through the chains [Verse 2] Whispers in the wheat fields Lanterns crawling up the road Mother hides the youngest child Priest forgets his holy oaths She smiles from the window Blood-red silk along her wrists Promise of a sweeter death Hidden in her hungry kiss [Chorus] Sanguine smile Open door She drinks the brave And calls for more Every vow Every sin She pulls you close And drags you in Sanguine smile Silver bite You lose your soul But feel so right Fear in your throat Heat in your veins Crawling to her Through the chains [Instrumental break, tempo shift violin and harpsichord] [Bridge] Is it doom Or is it mercy When her hand Is on your heart Villagers burn Their little candles Still they stray Into the dark (oh) [Chorus] Sanguine smile Open door She drinks the brave And calls for more Every vow Every sin She pulls you close And drags you in Sanguine smile Silver bite You lose your soul But feel so right Dreading her name Craving her fangs Walking to her As you hang
