[Intro] (haaaa-ahhh... h-h-haaaa-ahhh) (hooo-oooh... o-o-oooh) [Verse 1] A sudden storm from the highest peak Scattering seeds in the world below He leaves a trail of the fragile and weak While her golden crown hides a jealous glow She strikes the earth for the vows he breaks And we are the collateral, the beautiful mistakes [Pre-Chorus] We lift up our hands to the blinding light But they're only playing to pass the night [Chorus] They pull on the threads from a velvet sky (haaaa-ahhh-ahhh... h-h-haaaa-ahhh) Smiling so sweet while the innocent cry We are just pawns in their glittering game Burning to ash in their quiet, cold flame [Verse 2] The sister of strategy, calculating, cold Moves us like pieces on a marble floor Then hands us to the brother, brutal and bold Who feeds on the ruin and begs for more While the one with the vines pours a maddening wine Drowning our sorrow by wicked design [Pre-Chorus] We build them our temples of marble and white But we're only shadows to feed their delight [Chorus] They pull on the threads from a velvet sky (haaaa-ahhh-ahhh... h-h-haaaa-ahhh) Smiling so sweet while the innocent cry We are just pawns in their glittering game Burning to ash in their quiet, cold flame [Bridge] Immortal, untouched, with their hollow, bright eyes We bleed on the altars of beautiful lies They take what they want, then they vanish in air Leaving us tangled in mortal despair [Final Chorus] They pull on the threads from a velvet sky (haaaa-ahhh-ahhh... h-h-haaaa-ahhh) Smiling so sweet while the innocent cry We are just pawns in their glittering game (glittering game) Burning to ash in their quiet, cold flame Yes, we are the dust in their glittering game (haaaa-ahhh) Lost in the dark of their quiet, cold flame (hooo-oooh... h-h-hooo-oooh) [Outro] Just a game... Just a game... We burn in the flame.
