The Gilded Rot

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nDust on the velvet floor\nLock the heavy iron door\nHear the cello through the wall\nShadows dancing in the hall\nWelcome to the silent show\nWhere the frozen spirits go\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nStep into the pale moonlight\nKiss the dark and lose your sight\nWax is dripping on the stage\nTurn the final dusty page\n\n[Chorus]\nStay forever in my arms\nHidden from the world's alarms\nRotten roses, golden thread\nJoin the dance among the dead\nOne more breath, a final sigh\nUnderneath a velvet sky\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nGilded rot (ooh)\nTake the lot (ooh)\nTied in a knot\n\n[Verse]\nRust is biting at the chain\nDrinking all the winter rain\nChandelier begins to sway\nChasing every light away\nFragile bones and lace attire\nBurning in a cold, blue fire\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nStep into the pale moonlight\nKiss the dark and lose your sight\nWax is dripping on the stage\nTurn the final dusty page\n\n[Chorus]\nStay forever in my arms\nHidden from the world's alarms\nRotten roses, golden thread\nJoin the dance among the dead\nOne more breath, a final sigh\nUnderneath a velvet sky\n\n[Bridge]\nSign your name in faded ink\nStanding on the jagged brink\nNo more time to turn around\nBuried deep beneath the ground\nCurtains close on who you were\nLost inside a silver blur\n\n[Verse]\nYou look lovely in the gloom\nIn this hollow, haunted room\nTouch the silk and feel the chill\nTime is standing perfectly still\nDon't you want to live forever?\nBreak the earthly ties you sever\n\n[Chorus]\nStay forever in my arms\nHidden from the world's alarms\nRotten roses, golden thread\nJoin the dance among the dead\nOne more breath, a final sigh\nUnderneath a velvet sky\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nGilded rot (ooh)\nTake the lot (ooh)\nTied in a knot\n\n[Outro]
