Venetian Ice

[Intro]
[Verse]
Canal waters run cold
Our story has been told
The fog hides the bridge tonight
We step out of the light
You pour the sparkling wine
A slow and dark design
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the sudden chill
Beneath my velvet gown
A pistol keeps me still
Before the walls come down
[Chorus]
You sold my heart for gold
The greatest lie ever told
Now Venice starts to weep
For secrets we must keep
I loved you in the dark
But fire leaves a mark
[Verse]
The bubbles rise and fade
A bitter price is paid
The glass is in your hand
Just like we planned
But I have changed the game
You will not speak my name
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the sudden chill
Beneath my velvet gown
A pistol keeps me still
Before the walls come down
[Chorus]
You sold my heart for gold
The greatest lie ever told
Now Venice starts to weep
For secrets we must keep
I loved you in the dark
But fire leaves a mark
[Bridge]
The shadows dance on the stone
And now I stand alone
No masks are left to wear
Just cold Venetian air
I pull the trigger slow
It is time for you to go
[Chorus]
You sold my heart for gold
The greatest lie ever told
Now Venice starts to weep
For secrets we must keep
I loved you in the dark
But fire leaves a mark
[Post-Chorus]
The water takes the spark
We vanish in the dark
The game is done
And no one won
[Outro]
