[INTRO — WHISPERED] Close your eyes… The night is young. The grave is open… The song's begun. [VERSE 1 — BREATHY FEMALE VOCALS] Black lace hanging from the willow tree, A little death dressed in misery. Silver moonlight on a porcelain face, One last waltz in a hollow place. The clock keeps laughing, the walls breathe slow, There's nowhere left for the lost to go. I wore my sorrow like a wedding dress, Kissed the lips of my loneliness. [Hip-hop/trip hop blend rapped with smoky male vocals] Shut the eyes to see through the lies death is not the ending it's the start of reality bending lending unending sending the soul to see the disguise. [PRE-CHORUS — BUILDING SYNTHS] The candles burn down, And the stars fall out. There's a beautiful silence Where we used to shout. [CHORUS — EXPLOSIVE TRIP-HOP BEAT] DANCE UNTIL THE DARK TAKES OVER! Let the dead hearts beat a little slower! We're the flowers growing through the stone, We're the children of a world unknown! SING UNTIL THE SKY FALLS BLACK! There's no tomorrow to bring us back! If eternity is all we are, We'll burn forever like a dying star! Oh-oh-oh, let the darkness in… Oh-oh-oh, let the dance begin… [VERSE 2 — DARKER, RHYTHMIC VOCALS] Black balloons in a dead-end town, Little white faces with their eyes sewn down. A carousel turning without a sound, A thousand lost souls underground. I hear the laughter beneath the dirt, See roses bloom from the deepest hurt. If there's a God on the other side, Why does the devil look so much like life? [Hip hop /trip hop blend rapped with smoky male vocals] breaking through the night holding to the light sallow soul singing silent requiems of sight hiding out in view viciously visiting eliciting electric lines of youth. [BRIDGE — HAUNTING WHISPERS, BASS PULSE] When I die, will the flowers remember me? Will the earth keep my secrets underneath? I don't want heaven. I don't want hell. Just one more moment Before the final bell. One more heartbeat… One more heartbeat… [BREAKDOWN — DISTORTED BASS, HEAVY DRUMS] THE GRAVE IS NOT THE END OF ME! THE NIGHT WILL SET MY SPIRIT FREE! NO GOD! NO DEVIL! NO GOODBYE! WE ARE THE STARS THAT REFUSE TO DIE! WE WERE NEVER MADE TO LIVE FOREVER! WE WERE MADE TO BURN TOGETHER! [FINAL CHORUS — EPIC, LAYERED VOCALS] DANCE UNTIL THE DARK TAKES OVER! Let the dead hearts beat a little slower! We're the flowers growing through the stone, We're the children of a world unknown! SING UNTIL THE SKY FALLS BLACK! THERE'S NO TOMORROW TO BRING US BACK! Let the angels weep, let the demons pray, We're the beautiful dead, and we're here to stay! WE ARE THE NIGHT! WE ARE THE END! WE ARE THE BROKEN WHO WILL NEVER BEND! [OUTRO — MUSIC BOX, FADED WHISPERS] Close your eyes… The world grows cold. The grave is open… The night unfolds. (Whispered) Happy death… One final heartbeat. Silence.
