[Intro – Whispered Female Vocals] [Soft acoustic guitar, distant thunder, eerie fiddle] Mynxsi: They say the devil walks at midnight, And the angels fear the dark. But I found something worth believin', In a man with an emerald heart. Legal Elf (Deep, Gravelly): And I found heaven in a library, Where the moonlight kissed her hair. She wore black lace like a midnight queen, And I knew my home was there. [Verse 1 – Male] I was a wanderer with a troubled soul, Two green blades and a heart of coal. Walked through the fire, danced with the damned, Never thought I'd find a place to stand. Then I saw those eyes behind her glasses, Like moonlight shining through stained glass. She gave me a smile, and Lord, I knew, The road I'd been walking led straight to you. [Verse 2 – Female] He came through my door on a stormy night, With emerald eyes and a devilish smile. Had a wild green fire underneath his skin, And a thousand stories of where he'd been. I was a witch with a thousand books, He stole my heart with a single look. Now between these shelves where the shadows lie, I've got my outlaw till the day I die. [Pre-Chorus – Duet] Male: I'll be your shelter when the cold winds blow. Female: I'll be your lantern when the lights burn low. Male: Through every storm, through the darkest night. Female: I'll be your moon, you'll be my light. [Chorus – Both, Powerful Harmonies] We're black lace and emerald fire, Two lost souls with one desire! Let the thunder roll, let the heavens cry, We'll love like hell till the stars run dry! She's my midnight, he's my dawn, Two wild hearts where we belong! Through the graveyard gates and the darkest night, I'll be yours beyond this life! Ohhhh, let the church bells ring! For the outlaw elf and his gothic queen! [Verse 3 – Male] She's got a witch's hat and a stubborn streak, Coffee in her cup and a book she'll keep. She'll roll those eyes when I run my mouth, But she's the only woman who can calm me down. And when the world comes knocking with its knives, I'll stand beside her every time. Don't need a crown, don't need no throne, Just my gothic wife and a place called home. [Verse 4 – Female] He's got those tattoos climbing up his neck, And a pair of green swords you don't disrespect. He acts all tough with that serious face, But I know the man underneath that gaze. And when his worries start weighing him down, I'll put his restless heart on solid ground. 'Cause even the strongest deserve somewhere, To lay down their swords and know someone's there. [Chorus – Both] We're black lace and emerald fire, Two lost souls with one desire! Let the thunder roll, let the heavens cry, We'll love like hell till the stars run dry! She's my midnight, he's my dawn, Two wild hearts where we belong! Through the graveyard gates and the darkest night, I'll be yours beyond this life! Ohhhh, let the church bells ring! For the outlaw elf and his gothic queen! [Bridge – Slow, Emotional Duet] [Music drops to fingerpicked acoustic guitar and lonely fiddle] Female (Softly): If my pages turn to ashes, If my candle loses flame, Will you find me in the darkness? Will you whisper out my name? Male (Deep and Tender): If my blades are old and broken, If my green eyes lose their shine, I'll still reach for you at midnight, And your hand will still find mine. Female: Even when the roses wither? Male: Even when the rivers dry. Both: Ain't no grave deep enough, darling, To keep your heart from mine! [Final Chorus – Full Band, Soaring Harmonies] [Heavy drums, distorted country guitar, soaring fiddle and ringing church bells] WE'RE BLACK LACE AND EMERALD FIRE! TWO WILD HEARTS THAT WON'T RETIRE! LET THE LIGHTNING STRIKE, LET THE WOLVES ALL CRY, WE'LL DANCE TOGETHER TILL THE END OF TIME! She's my midnight, he's my dawn, A love like ours keeps rolling on! Through the graveyard gates and the darkest night, I'll be yours beyond this life! OH, LET THE CHURCH BELLS RING! FOR THE OUTLAW ELF AND HIS GOTHIC QUEEN! [Outro – Whispered Duet] [Fiddle fades, gentle rain against library windows] Male: Hey, darlin'... you know I'd fight the whole world for you. Female (Laughing softly): I know, sweetheart. But could you put your swords away in my library? Male: Yes, ma'am... Female: And quit drinking all my coffee. Male: ...Now you're asking too much. [Both laugh. A final acoustic guitar chord rings out.] Both (Softly): Black lace... emerald fire... Forever yours... through the midnight choir.
