TILL DEATH TAKES US HOME

Lyrics

Verse 1 Underneath a dead moon rising, Where the black trees scrape the sky, I found you dressed in winter white, With forever in your eyes. I was a shadow without a heartbeat, A lonely king upon a throne, Then you laid your hand inside mine And made the darkness feel like home. Pre-Chorus They said no love could cross that river, No heart could outrun the stone, But when the whole world turned against us, We swore we’d never walk alone. Chorus So dance with me where the roses die, Beneath a blood-red midnight sky. Wear my crown, I’ll take your hand, We’ll rule forever in a broken land. When Heaven shuts its gates above, And Hell says we’ve run out of love, I’ll hold you when the last bell tolls, Together till death takes us home. Verse 2 They called me Death, they called you sorrow, Said our love was born in sin, But every grave became a doorway Every time you pulled me in. I’ve watched kingdoms fall to ashes, Seen a thousand lifetimes end, But I’d tear eternity wide open Just to hold you once again. Pre-Chorus Let the angels fear our footsteps, Let the demons know our names, There ain’t a fire in creation That could burn away this flame. Chorus So dance with me where the roses die, Beneath a blood-red midnight sky. Wear my crown, I’ll take your hand, We’ll rule forever in a broken land. When Heaven shuts its gates above, And Hell says we’ve run out of love, I’ll hold you when the last bell tolls, Together till death takes us home. Verse 3 Now the moon hangs cold behind us, And the ravens circle slow, Your white dress moves like a ghost wind Where the blackened roses grow. Put your head against my shoulder, Don’t be frightened of the night, Even Death can find salvation When the wrong one loves him right. Bridge Him: If they bury me beneath you, I will claw my way back out. Her: If they steal your breath tomorrow, I will still hear you call out. Him: If the darkness comes to claim you, I’ll be waiting at the door. Her: If forever tries to break us, I’ll just love you even more. Together: No beginning, no surrender, No goodbye carved into stone. If forever has a kingdom, We’ll be sitting on its throne. Final Chorus Come dance with me where the roses die, Beneath that blood-red midnight sky. Take your crown, I’ll take your hand, King and queen of a forgotten land. Let Heaven close its gates above, Let Hell come try to kill our love. When every star has lost its glow, There’s still one place that we will go. When the earth has claimed our bones, When the final trumpet blows, I’ll still be holding on to you, Till death takes us home. Outro Underneath that pale moonlight, Two shadows hold each other tight. No grave, no god, no world unknown Could keep our restless hearts alone. Together, Till death takes us home.
