Tekst piosenki
The cathedral is empty, the candles are cold,
A story of treason that’s never been told.
I’m wearing the veil that was meant for the light,
But I’m drowning in shadows and velvet and night.
The echoes of footsteps are lost in the nave,
As silent and deep as the stone of a grave.
The angels of marble are turning away,
From the ghost of a wedding that happened in May.
Verse 2
You promised the stars but you gave me the dust,
A crown made of iron and covered in rust.
The wine in the chalice is bitter and red,
Like the words of the vow that you never had said.
My fingers are numb in the grip of the lace,
I’m searching for warmth in your phantom embrace.
The moon is a witness, a pale, hollow eye,
To the love that we swore but was destined to die.
Pre-Chorus
The clock is striking thirteen on the wall,
I’m waiting for someone who never will call.
Chorus
This is the waltz for the heart that was sold,
For the love that grew grey and the blood that grew cold.
Spin me around till the world disappears,
Through the salt of my anger and rain of my tears.
Step to the left where the memories bleed,
Step to the right for the hollowest need.
One last dance in this kingdom of stones,
Over the ruins of our broken bones.
Bridge
The ghost in the mirror is wearing my face,
But I’m just a guest in this desolate place.
Did you kill me...
...or did I just fade?
Into the trap that our passion has made!
Final Chorus
The music is stopping, the shadows are gone,
I’m leaving the dance and the ghost of the dawn.
No more circles in darkness, no more elegant lies,
I’m closing the gates to our paradise.
The cathedral is crumbling, the dust has been shed,
We’re leaving the living to follow the dead.
The waltz is a whisper, a breath in the air,
I’m finally breaking this long-lost despair.
