[Verse 1] Candles bleed on the black stone floor You walk in Already on your knees Every vow you ever tried to keep Hangs loose like torn red beads He smiles soft In a smoke-blue suit Eyes like honey over gasoline Says “Lay it down Every little rule I’ll make a relic of your clean” [Chorus] In the velvet chapel of sin We don’t say please We just give in You taste the ash You taste the wine Body as an altar to the lie you like (oh, give in) In the velvet chapel of sin You sign your name in heat and skin You breathe his name You let him in In the velvet chapel of sin [Verse 2] Succubi drift like perfume clouds Hundred hungry halos made of thorns Tongues of fire tracing every doubt Till even shame comes begging for more Hands everywhere You can’t keep count Every touch a tiny little prayer Every gasp a jeweled renounce Of a life that once was fair [Chorus] In the velvet chapel of sin We don’t say please We just give in You taste the ash You taste the wine Body as an altar to the lie you like (oh, give in) In the velvet chapel of sin You sign your name in heat and skin You breathe his name You let him in In the velvet chapel of sin [Bridge] He says “Confess But keep it slow” Every secret has a sacred glow The darker you whisper The brighter you burn The deeper you fall The more I return [Chorus] In the velvet chapel of sin We don’t say please We just give in You taste the ash You taste the wine Body as an altar to the lie you like (oh, give in) In the velvet chapel of sin You sign your name in heat and skin You breathe his name You let him in In the velvet chapel of sin
