The Altar of Neon

[Intro]
[Verse]
Fog chokes the alleyway
Where the neon starts to sway
A flickering blue sign
Tells me that you’re mine
Step through the iron door
You won't need your heartbeat anymore
I have watched the ages pass
Through the bottom of a glass
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the sub-bass thrum?
Underneath my silver thumb
It’s a rhythm for the dead
Spinning circles in your head
Don't you want to stay?
Throw the sun away
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Altar of Neon
A debt you’ll pay for an eon
Cracked velvet and silver rings
The winter that the darkness brings
Sign your name in the smoke
Before your fragile spirit broke
One touch and you are bound
Six feet above the ground
[Post-Chorus]
Taste the red, taste the night
Lose your grip, lose the light
(Deep bass thrum)
You’re mine tonight
[Verse]
Smudged crimson on the rim
As the chapel lights go dim
My claws are glinting in the dark
Leaving such a pretty mark
I’ve owned this club for hundred years
Feeding on your sudden fears
Sit beside me on the lace
Let me memorize your face
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you feel the sub-bass thrum?
Underneath my silver thumb
It’s a rhythm for the dead
Spinning circles in your head
Don't you want to stay?
Throw the sun away
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Altar of Neon
A debt you’ll pay for an eon
Cracked velvet and silver rings
The winter that the darkness brings
Sign your name in the smoke
Before your fragile spirit broke
One touch and you are bound
Six feet above the ground
[Bridge]
The pipe organ begins to drone
Chilling you right to the bone
Fuzzed out strings and industrial grit
This is where the shadows sit
The deal is done, the ink is wet
The only sun you’ll ever set
Is the one behind your eyes
Where the human spirit dies
[Verse]
The baritone guitar is screaming
Stop your little dream of dreaming
The exit sign is just a lie
In a place where no one can die
I’ll keep you in a crystal jar
Underneath a dying star
The midnight ledger has your name
Welcome to my favorite game
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Altar of Neon
A debt you’ll pay for an eon
Cracked velvet and silver rings
The winter that the darkness brings
Sign your name in the smoke
Before your fragile spirit broke
One touch and you are bound
Six feet above the ground
[Post-Chorus]
Taste the red, taste the night
Lose your grip, lose the light
(Deep bass thrum)
You’re mine tonight
[Outro]
