Threnody (Acoustique)

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Let me be your thief, star-crossed on a blade
By the beating of wings and the din of the death of the day
Every drop I've spent for the omens we have seen
Between heaven and elegance, long are the shadows of dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Kiss like a queen but you love like a butcher, baby
I'll kiss the ring from the floor

[Chorus]
I'll hold your breath if you keep all of my promises
Trade me a death for the stone
Sweet oubliette, don't forget that you made me promises
The blind and the deaf built your throne
Sweet oubliette

[Verse 2]
Let me be your drum, midnight thunder rage
For the kingdom that comes, would you bury me under the stage?
Foncer mon petit ange, au fin de la lumière
Comme un amour étrange, la nôtre est histoire de guerre

[Pre-Chorus]
Kiss like a queen but you love like a butcher, baby
Cold threnody for your soul

[Chorus]
I'll hold your breath if you keep all of my promises
Trade me a death for the stone, whoa
Sweet oubliette, don't forget that you made me promises
The blind and the deaf built your throne, whoa
Sweet oubliette

[Bridge]
She came by shadow, a girl only
Silver, sable, and shy
Come take me in, hold me close, and don't ever go
Always be mine
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, yeah, whoa, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I'll hold your breath if you keep all of my promises
Trade me a death for the stone, whoa
Sweet oubliette, don't forget that you made me promises
The blind and the deaf built your throne, whoa
Whoa, oh
