[Intro – distorted feedback, low bass hum] Shadows dance beneath the purple light The stage is set for the raven night [Verse 1 – chugging power chords] Pointed ears and eyes of emerald green The darkest star that you have ever seen Leather bound and chains around my neck A heart of gold inside a hollow wreck [Verse 2 – driving drum beat] The crowd is silent waiting for the spark I find my power hiding in the dark One breath away from letting it all go The only truth that you will ever know [Pre-Chorus – building tension] The secrets whisper through the static air I see the hunger in your frozen stare [Chorus – explosive energy] I am the chancellor of every hidden thought The lessons that the lonely nights have taught Beneath the glitter and the heavy lace You’ll never find a way to leave this place [Interlude, Instrumental Solo] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 3 – palm-muted rhythm] The stars are bleeding colors in the sky I’ll sing the truth until the echoes die No more masks and no more playing parts I hold the keys to all your broken hearts [Chorus Reprise – layered harmonies] I am the chancellor of every hidden thought The lessons that the lonely nights have taught Beneath the glitter and the heavy lace You’ll never find a way to leave this place [Bridge – atmospheric breakdown] Don't look away when the curtain falls Listen close when the silence calls The magic fades but the scars remain Dancing through the fire and the rain [Final Chorus – maximum volume] I am the chancellor of every hidden thought The lessons that the lonely nights have taught Beneath the glitter and the heavy lace You’ll never find a way to leave this place [Outro – fading feedback] The raven flies into the velvet deep While all the secrets are for me to keep
