Black Veil

Paroles de « Black Veil »

Verse 1

I lit a candle with my teeth
In the ruin of your name
Cold stone under my bare knees
Still I taste the ash you made

Your ring lies in the altar dust
Like a promise split in two
I wore my bruise like bridal lace
Just to rot alone for you

Pre-Chorus

Hear the bells, they call me down
To the vault beneath my ribs
I can feel your shadow move
Where the dead keep their secrets

Chorus

Burn in the chapel
(Black veil, black veil)
Say my name again
(Black veil, black veil)
I loved you like a blade
Now I wear the scar
Burn in the chapel
You left me in the dark

Verse 2

Moonlit glass across my mouth
Like a thousand frozen prayers
I chased your ghost through iron halls
Found my heartbreak waiting there

Every vow you fed me whole
Turned to thorns inside my throat
Now I spit your sainted lies
And let the broken choirs choke

Pre-Chorus

Hear the bells, they call me down
To the vault beneath my ribs
I can feel your shadow move
Where the dead keep their secrets

Chorus

Burn in the chapel
(Black veil, black veil)
Say my name again
(Black veil, black veil)
I loved you like a blade
Now I wear the scar
Burn in the chapel
You left me in the dark

Bridge

I was your altar, your fever, your crown
You knelt in my ruin and tore it all down
Now the walls remember the sound of my scream
Now the walls remember what you did to me

Take back the night
Take back my breath
I bury your vow
In the mouth of death

[Final Chorus]

Burn in the chapel
(Black veil, black veil)
Say my name again
(Black veil, black veil)
I loved you like a blade
Now I wear the scar
Burn in the chapel
You left me in the dark

Burn in the chapel
(Black veil, black veil)
I rise from the ash
You made me a grave
I became a star
Burn in the chapel
I am the dark you are
