lyrics

Dream dark roses climb this manor
I'm the ghost who haunts the crumbling spire
In black lace branches, ravens clamor
I'm the Moon who burns with faerie fire
This World bore dreams like a velvet shiver
There's a door in the tomb I cannot break
So I called to my friend from beyond the River
To crack your heart like a sweet sharp stake

"Light of the Mist...
Ghost of the Void..."
I found you sleeping, in black flowers carved in ice
"His love He kissed,
The curse destroyed."
You dragged it deeper, like a World to sacrifice.

I've come to this World of deep velvet dreaming
In the hues of your heart, dark as moonlight gleaming
To the graveyards you locked with a rose-twined gate
Where the stories in time-frozen midnight wait
I'm the strange Faery King in your moonlit ballroom
I'm the Rose dyed in dusk and the music calling
And my shadow has haunted you all this time
Like a ghost when the bells of the Raven chime.

Silhouettes filled with stars are dancing
I remember the dreams of a dusk-drawn maiden
And I'll be the vampire prince, romancing
Her heart, on a bier with black roses laden
Find me the song of an ancient fable
As dried petals blow past a weathered grave
The Moon spills like wine on the altar table
I'm here, all the Worlds of your soul to save.

"Undying red...
Deep Winter black..."
I am returning what you loved to you, dear heart.
"He kissed the dead
To bring me back."
Ghost stars are burning in your soul's Inspired art.

Come to the ballroom of waltzing shadows
Stars dust your skin and the crystal windows
My Soul is the Moon and the Night's Abyss
The Deep Dream who gave you his blood-stained kiss
And I am a World of undying Faerie
Bring me the roses your gravestones bury
Sweet changeling prince in a witch's spell
Can I be your Love in the tales you tell?

"Light of the Mist...
Ghost of the Void...
When He kissed the prince, his soul was overjoyed.

"Undying red...
Deep Winter black..."
Your stories said the King is coming back.

Just like the Star
Who gave His wings:
Agape scarred
By the thorns He brings...

I've come tonight
(This dance to take)
The Lord of Light
(This spell to break)

Time slowly wakes where the Hunter's prowling
Snow, mist and moon--hear the wolfsong howling
Breathe as I kiss you to life once more
Tell me the stories you dreamt before
Will you be my dusk-rose, just like your namesake?
"Beloved," you're called--make the ghostly flame wake!
And I'll be the King at your midnight ball
We'll dance where the moonbeams of Faerie fall.
