Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Dust upon the vellum scroll Ink has stained my weary soul Candlelight begins to fade In this quiet, hollow shade Charcoal lines of lilies fair Ghostly perfume in the air [Pre-Chorus] A royal hand, a heavy seal Hiding what I truly feel Between the pages, dark and deep A secret promise I must keep [Chorus] Oh, the violet in the gold A story never to be told Beyond the palace, past the gate We were masters of our fate Petals thin as winter lace Holding shadows of your face [Post-Chorus] Faded bloom, silent room Rising from a paper tomb Faded bloom, silent room Weaving through the velvet gloom [Verse] They stripped the titles from my name Left me with a gilded shame But they missed the hidden leaf Tucked beneath a painted grief Cor anglais plays a lonely song Where the broken hearts belong [Pre-Chorus] The harpsichord begins to weep While the court is fast asleep I trace the veins of purple ink Standing on the memory's brink [Chorus] Oh, the violet in the gold A story never to be told Beyond the palace, past the gate We were masters of our fate Petals thin as winter lace Holding shadows of your face [Hook] Still blooming in the dark Still burning like a spark Still blooming in the dark Leaving such a holy mark [Bridge] Celesta rings like falling snow Forty years of yes and no The garden died in sixty-three But you are blooming here for me Faded purple, brittle spine Once you were entirely mine [Chorus] Oh, the violet in the gold A story never to be told Beyond the palace, past the gate We were masters of our fate Petals thin as winter lace Holding shadows of your face [Post-Chorus] Faded bloom, silent room Rising from a paper tomb Faded bloom, silent room Weaving through the velvet gloom [Outro]
