[Intro – haunting organ, heavy slow drum kick]
Shadows stretch across the floor
Midnight knocks upon the door
[Verse 1 – gritty distorted riffs, steady beat]
Pale skin glowing in the dim light
Eyes of fire burning through the night
Black lace tight against her chest
A heart that never finds its rest
Long claws reaching for the soul
Taking back the life she stole
[Pre-Chorus – building tension, rising vocals]
Crimson droplets start to fall
She answers to the ancient call
[Chorus – powerful anthem, heavy drive]
Dance with the lady of the grave
There is no one left to save
In her arms the world turns cold
Stories of the dark unfold
A kiss of salt and iron wine
Lost within her dark design
[Verse 2 – palm-muted chords, atmospheric]
Raven hair like silk and ink
Standing on the jagged brink
She whispers secrets to the wind
For the saint and for the sinned
A velvet trap of lace and bone
Sitting on her hollow throne
[Pre-Chorus – building tension, rising vocals]
Crimson droplets start to fall
She answers to the ancient call
[Chorus – powerful anthem, heavy drive]
Dance with the lady of the grave
There is no one left to save
In her arms the world turns cold
Stories of the dark unfold
A kiss of salt and iron wine
Lost within her dark design
[Bridge – slowed tempo, ethereal echo]
The sun will never rise again
Beyond the reach of mortal men
Eternal hunger in her veins
Breaking all the earthly chains
[Solo – screeching distorted solo]
(Instrumental Solo)
[Chorus – maximum intensity, layered vocals]
Dance with the lady of the grave
There is no one left to save
In her arms the world turns cold
Stories of the dark unfold
A kiss of salt and iron wine
Lost within her dark design
[Outro – fading distortion, cold wind]
The moon begins to fade away
Into the dark she goes to stay
