Moonlit Cipher

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I walk where the black birds know my name Silver on my tongue, I play that ancient game Got a key in my coat from a door that won’t stay shut Every step I take, I can feel the old world cut Your eyes like a spell in a cracked old ring You say one word low, and the shadows sing I been lost in the smoke of a thousand signs Read my fate off the cracks, then I crossed that line [Pre-Chorus] Now the air gets cold And the floorboards hum I hear your secret Like a kingdom coming No map, no trace Just a pulse in the dark You pull me closer Then you leave your mark [Chorus] Moonlit cipher Say it again Moonlit cipher Under my skin Moonlit cipher I was born for this Moonlit cipher Kiss the void and slip (Moonlit cipher) (Moonlit cipher) [Verse 2] I keep little charms in the pocket of my coat A bone-white feather and a folded note Names in the water where the candles bent Every omen hit me like it meant what it meant You move like a storm in a mirrored room Half saint, half smoke, half the coming doom And I don’t want safe, I don’t want clean I want the strange little world that you hide between [Pre-Chorus] Now the air gets cold And the floorboards hum I hear your secret Like a kingdom coming No map, no trace Just a pulse in the dark You pull me closer Then you leave your mark [Chorus] Moonlit cipher Say it again Moonlit cipher Under my skin Moonlit cipher I was born for this Moonlit cipher Kiss the void and slip (Moonlit cipher) (Moonlit cipher) [Bridge] If I fall, let me fall in gold If I burn, let the night take hold I’ve been chasing that hidden thread Past the living, past the dead [Final Chorus] Moonlit cipher Say it again Moonlit cipher Under my skin Moonlit cipher I was born for this Moonlit cipher Kiss the void and slip Moonlit cipher Don’t let it fade Moonlit cipher Take me away Moonlit cipher I was born for this Moonlit cipher Kiss the void and slip
