Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The furnace glows in deep red light I work into the velvet night Molten sand begins to flow Like secrets only I could know Your shadow falls across the floor A silent ghost beside the door [Pre-Chorus] The harpsichord begins to play A waltz from worlds so far away The scent of musk and jasmine bloom Within this dusty, hollow room [Chorus] Oh, my Venetian king in gold A story that was never told Behind the mask, a frozen smile Stay with me just a little while But glass will break and hearts will bleed You’re the only thing I’ll ever need [Verse] I see the ring beneath your glove A cold reminder of your love To someone born of higher name While I am forged in smoke and flame Perfume bottles half-complete Lay broken at your noble feet [Pre-Chorus] The celesta rings like falling rain To mask the rhythm of my pain The bassoon sighs a heavy breath A love that’s flirting with its death [Chorus] Oh, my Venetian king in gold A story that was never told Behind the mask, a frozen smile Stay with me just a little while But glass will break and hearts will bleed You’re the only thing I’ll ever need [Bridge] The canal reflects the palace lights Through long and lonely winter nights The embers spark and then they die Underneath a heavy, charcoal sky Stained-glass windows start to crack There is no way of turning back [Chorus] Oh, my Venetian king in gold A story that was never told Behind the mask, a frozen smile Stay with me just a little while But glass will break and hearts will bleed You’re the only thing I’ll ever need [Post-Chorus] Blowing bubbles out of fire Drowning in my own desire The carnival is ending soon Beneath a pale and silver moon [Outro]
