Violet Requium

(Ah)

The Moon is glinting through a stain glass sky
We watch the colors of the evening die
You wear your sorrow like a royal gown
The quietest tragedy in this ghost town

A final breath upon the freezing air
I search for heaven, but I find you there
The candles flicker out one by one
We are the children who outlived the Sun

Step into the dark, let the music play
As the last of the light fades away

This is our violet requiem, beautiful and cold
The darkest story that was ever told
Let the velvet shadows under deep
Where the broken angels finally go to sleep

With a crown of thorns and a heart of stone
We will rule this midnight kingdom all alone
Listen to the violins, hear the final sting
This is the song that the dying stars sing

A sea of lavender beneath our feet
Where all the bitter memories taste so sweet
You trace the scars across my open chest
A sacred ritual of holy rest

We built an altar out of all our sins
And that's exactly where the end begins
The candles flicker out one by one
We are the children who outlived the Sun

Step into the dark, let the music play
As the last of the light fades away

This is our violet requiem, beautiful and cold
The darkest story that was ever told
Let the velvet shadows under deep
Where the broken angels finally go to sleep

With a crown of thorns and a heart of stone
We will rule this midnight kingdom all alone
Listen to the violins, hear the final sting
This is the song that the dying stars sing

Bury the past in a garden of stone
Leave me to rot on this shattered throne
If love is a curse, then I'm ready to bleed
You are the poison and the cure that I need

Sing it louder, let the heavens shake
This is the last promise we will ever break
The petals fall, a violet shadow on a crumbling wall
Ah, requiem, our requiem is done
