(A Gothic Rock Ballad Inspired by the Song of Songs) Verse 1 I hear your voice in the hush of the night, Like silver bells beneath the veil of twilight. Your scent of myrrh drifts through my soul, A burning temple I cannot control. Pre-Chorus I wandered through deserted streets, Calling your name beneath the moon, Your shadow brushed against my grief — And promised you’d return soon. Chorus Oh, seal me upon your heart, Like fire upon your skin, Love is a flame that tears us apart, Yet bids us rise again. Stronger than death, wilder than the storm, Your kiss is holy wine — I am yours and you are mine. Verse 2 You stand like an ivory tower in the mist, With raven hair and bleeding lips I miss. Your voice—sweet thunder in the dark, A sacred oath, a forbidden spark. Pre-Chorus I sought you in the watchmen’s gaze, They could not understand, How love becomes a psalm of pain Carved in trembling hands. Chorus Oh, seal me upon your heart, Like fire upon your skin, Love is a flame that tears us apart, Yet bids us rise again. Stronger than death, wilder than the storm, Your kiss is holy wine — I am yours and you are mine. Bridge Let the vineyards burn behind us, Let the lilies bloom in ash, For even in ruin we are glorious — Two souls bound in scarlet flash. Final Chorus (softer, then rising) Seal me upon your heart, Like fire upon your skin... Even if heaven falls — I’d live and die within. Stronger than death, wilder than the storm, Your kiss is holy wine — I am yours... And you are mine.
