Silver Screen Sin

[Intro]
[Verse]
Heavy gates groan loud
Wrapped in a velvet shroud
Marble is cold and gray
I’m here to play
The sun starts to sink
I’m right on the brink
Of a world long gone
Before the new dawn
[Pre-Chorus]
Static hums in the air
I see you standing there
Painted eyes, hollow face
Lost in this dusty space
You flicker like a spark
Inside the heavy dark
[Chorus]
Silver screen sin
Let the trade begin
Take my warm breath
Give me your death
I want the fame
You want the flame
Trade me a scene
For the soul of a queen
[Verse]
Pearls on a broken string
Hear the dead bells ring
You show me the lights
Of those Hollywood nights
The glitter is sharp
Like a golden harp
My pulse starts to slow
In your neon glow
[Chorus]
Silver screen sin
Let the trade begin
Take my warm breath
Give me your death
I want the fame
You want the flame
Trade me a scene
For the soul of a queen
[Bridge]
Nitrate dreams are burning
The film reels are turning
My heart is a prop
And I’ll never stop
Take a gallon of red
For the life that you led
I’m losing my skin
To let the ghost in
[Verse]
The shadows are tall
Against the stone wall
I’m pale as a sheet
With the world at my feet
I’ve got your old grace
And your beautiful face
But my hands are so cold
And I’m feeling so old
[Chorus]
Silver screen sin
Let the trade begin
Take my warm breath
Give me your death
I want the fame
You want the flame
Trade me a scene
For the soul of a queen
[Post-Chorus]
Static in my head
Dancing with the dead
Static in my head
Better off instead
Static in my head
Everything is red
[Outro]
