Velvet Funeral

Meireles Botelho

Shadows whisper secrets in your name
In the chapel, of my shame
Roses wilt beneath your stare
But still, I breathe your poisoned air

Your kiss, a blade on velvet skin
I bleed where love has always been

Bury me in your velvet funeral
Wrapped in night, so tragically beautiful
Love was our tomb, and I still hear the call
Of your voice in the dark

Every promise carved in glass
Shattered lies that couldn't last
You danced through fire, dressed in black
Left your halo with a crack

My heart, your altar of regret
Still burns for what I can't forget

Bury me in your velvet funeral
Wrapped in night, so tragically beautiful
Love was our tomb, and I still hear the call
Of your voice in the dark

I wear your sins like a crown of thorns
A martyr made from nights forlorn
In dreams I drown where we once lay
In silence cold as your last stay

Bury me in your velvet funeral
Kiss me once, make the end merciful
Love was our curse, and I still feel the fall
Of your shadow on mine
