Venetian Cyanide

[Intro]
[Verse]
Gondola lanterns glow
Rain on the canal below
A pill inside the glass
This poison game won't last
Under the crumbling arch
Time beats a deadly march
[Pre-Chorus]
We share a stolen kiss
On the edge of the abyss
The shadow plays its part
To break a target's heart
[Chorus]
Hold me in the dark
Leave your mark
For when the sun will rise
We paint our love in lies
The dawn will end the play
And sweep us away
[Post-Chorus]
The brass begins to swell
Our secret we won't tell
Under the midnight spell
We say our last farewell
[Verse]
A touch of velvet lace
I memorize your face
The water starts to freeze
Secrets on the breeze
A trigger in my hand
Written in the sand
[Pre-Chorus]
We share a stolen kiss
On the edge of the abyss
The shadow plays its part
To break a target's heart
[Chorus]
Hold me in the dark
Leave your mark
For when the sun will rise
We paint our love in lies
The dawn will end the play
And sweep us away
[Bridge]
The cold Venetian night
Fades into the light
No safety in the dawn
The silver veil is drawn
[Chorus]
Hold me in the dark
Leave your mark
For when the sun will rise
We paint our love in lies
The dawn will end the play
And sweep us away
[Outro]
