Velvet and the Void

[Intro]
[Verse]
Step through the mist and the stone
To a kingdom built on bone
Rotting velvet on the wall
Watch the heavy shadows fall
Ancient arches cold and wide
Nowhere left for you to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Cold iron on your skin
Let the wicked game begin
I can sense your deepest greed
I have everything you need
[Chorus]
Welcome to the velvet and the void
Everything you love will be destroyed
I’m the hunger that you can’t avoid
By my hollow heart you are employed
[Post-Chorus]
Drink the bog fire light
Feed the endless night
[Verse]
You bring a heavy purse
But you leave with a curse
Bog fire glowing green
The cruelest queen you've seen
Mud is thick upon your shoes
You have everything to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
I take the breath from your chest
Put your weary soul to rest
Sign upon the dotted line
Now your spirit’s finally mine
[Chorus]
Welcome to the velvet and the void
Everything you love will be destroyed
I’m the hunger that you can’t avoid
By my hollow heart you are employed
[Bridge]
The organ moans a dusty tune
Beneath a fractured, silver moon
I’ve watched the empires rise and rot
I take the things that you forgot
I am the sovereign of the silt
Built on every drop of guilt
[Hook]
Barter for the dark
Give me every spark
Barter for the deep
Promises to keep
[Chorus]
Welcome to the velvet and the void
Everything you love will be destroyed
I’m the hunger that you can’t avoid
By my hollow heart you are employed
[Post-Chorus]
Drink the bog fire light
Feed the endless night
[Outro]
