Crimson Chapel Kiss

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met you by the crypt door Wet rain on your black lace sleeve You smiled like a stolen candle Then asked me what I bleed Your hands were cold as marble Mine shook like a churchyard gate You said, "Come closer, darling" And I came too late [Pre-Chorus] Now the moon leans low Through the broken glass And every old vow Turns to ash [Chorus] Crimson chapel kiss (Black rose, black rose) Hold me like this (Black rose, black rose) If I must die Let your mouth be the dusk Crimson chapel kiss I was made for your thirst [Verse 2] We danced in the hall of portraits Where the saints had turned away You wore the night like velvet I wore the taste of day I brought you my pulse in secret You gave me your endless name Now centuries burn between us But I still call you the same [Pre-Chorus] And the crows above Know our hidden vow Even holy things Bow down now [Chorus] Crimson chapel kiss (Black rose, black rose) Hold me like this (Black rose, black rose) If I must die Let your mouth be the dusk Crimson chapel kiss I was made for your thirst [Bridge] Take my final morning Wrap it in your hands Let the world keep turning I won't understand If the grave is waiting Let it wait for us Two hearts in the dark Three drops of rust [Chorus] Crimson chapel kiss (Black rose, black rose) Hold me like this (Black rose, black rose) If I must die Let your mouth be the dusk Crimson chapel kiss I was made for your thirst
