[Verse 1] Porcelain shadows on the chapel floor I double-lock the heavy velvet door Chiming music box spins round and round Your breathless sighs are such a lovely sound I woven iron lace around your wrist A silent promise in the twilight mist Don't look away, don't try to pull free You belong in this cathedral with me [Pre-Chorus] Stained glass bleeds in crimson and gold A dark little fairytale softly foretold Hold your breath, let the harpsichord play We don't need the bright light of day [Chorus] Softly, sweetly, under the moon Kisses like poison, a sweet gothic tune Tie you with ribbons, lock you in thread I'll love you forever, alive or un-dead A bittersweet heartbeat, a fragile refrain My porcelain darling, you're mine in the rain Spin in a waltz as the choir pads swell Welcome to our sweet, everlasting hell [Verse 2] Candle wax drips on a silk black gown I place a tarnished little silver crown Upon your head so you can be my king Listen close as the church bells ring You whispered you'd stay, so I made it true Now nobody else can ever touch you A secret cage made of lace and bone So you'll never have to leave me alone [Pre-Chorus] Stained glass bleeds in crimson and gold A dark little fairytale softly foretold Hold your breath, let the harpsichord play We don't need the bright light of day [Chorus] Softly, sweetly, under the moon Kisses like poison, a sweet gothic tune Tie you with ribbons, lock you in thread I'll love you forever, alive or un-dead A bittersweet heartbeat, a fragile refrain My porcelain darling, you're mine in the rain Spin in a waltz as the choir pads swell Welcome to our sweet, everlasting hell [Bridge] (Spoken whisper) Tick-tock, the music box slows down... Don't be afraid. I'm doing this because I love you... Only you. (Screaming cleanly/Harmonies) Break the key! Tear the page! Blessing this beautiful, velvety cage! [Chorus] Softly, sweetly, under the moon Kisses like poison, a sweet gothic tune Tie you with ribbons, lock you in thread I'll love you forever, alive or un-dead A bittersweet heartbeat, a fragile refrain My porcelain darling, you're mine in the rain Spin in a waltz as the choir pads swell Welcome to our sweet, everlasting hell [Outro] Lace and velvet, shadows fade... A promise that we forever made... (Music box winds down into silence) Goodnight, my love...
