Ravished from our paradise A crack in the mirror, I know who's to blame So full of life, but paralyzed Etched on my iris, but I try not to think of it all
We swore to God in veritas And burned our skin like it burned our souls One dealt with grief by causing pain She hid behind maple and built her own fortress of sound
Hear this melody, almost forgotten
(Hush) I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust Been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes
Forbidden dance on fragile skin Why do you shine as I suffer in pain? The greatest scars remain within Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin
Fear this melody, almost forgotten
(Hush) I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust Been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you (Hate… my solution) Been waiting too long (Fate… an illusion)
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust I've been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes
I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to Heaven like dust to dust I've been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes
