Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Cold chisel bites the stone I work here all alone Cracked marble under my nails Where the mortal spirit fails I scrub the lichen away In this cathedral of grey The dust settles on my hair In the damp and heavy air [Pre-Chorus] The leaden seal is heavy and cold A secret that is centuries old I hear a whisper from the deep Where the ancient masters sleep [Chorus] Oh, let the phosphorus glow In the shadow down below I would rather rot in your arms Than live where the bright sun harms Love is a beautiful stain Binding us in this chain Choosing the dark over day In this vitreous decay [Post-Chorus] Lead and light Endless night Lead and light Hold me tight [Break] [Verse] Moth-eaten velvet on the floor I don't need the world anymore You trace a sigil on my skin Where the green fire begins Alchemist with eyes of glass Watching the long centuries pass Your spirit trapped in the metal Like a dead and blackened petal [Pre-Chorus] The leaden seal is heavy and cold A secret that is centuries old I hear a whisper from the deep Where the ancient masters sleep [Chorus] Oh, let the phosphorus glow In the shadow down below I would rather rot in your arms Than live where the bright sun harms Love is a beautiful stain Binding us in this chain Choosing the dark over day In this vitreous decay [Bridge] The mercury rises in the vein Washing away the earthly pain D minor drones in the dark Waiting for the final spark I choose the dust and the mold Over the silver and gold Smolder in the sulfur heat Make my transformation complete [Hook] Burn for me Turn for me Stay for me Decay for me [Chorus] Oh, let the phosphorus glow In the shadow down below I would rather rot in your arms Than live where the bright sun harms Love is a beautiful stain Binding us in this chain Choosing the dark over day In this vitreous decay [Post-Chorus] Lead and light Endless night Lead and light Hold me tight [Outro]
