---

Ravished from our paradise!

A crack in the mirror,

I know who's to blame.

So full of life but paralyzed!

Etched on my iris,

but I try not to think of it all.

We swore to God in veritas,

and burned our skin

like it burned our souls.

One dealt with grief by causing pain.

She hid behind maple and built

their own fortress of sound.

Hear this melody

almost forgotten!

Hush!

I've been waiting

a lifetime to show you,

you're returning to Heaven

like dust to dust.

I've been waiting forever

to witness your fading,

like ashes to ashes!

Forbidden dance

on fragile skin.

Why do you shine

as I suffer in pain?

The greatest scars remain within.

Leaving you now with a heart

black as cardinal sin.

Fear this melody

almost forgotten!

Hush!

I've been waiting

a lifetime to show you,

you're returning to Heaven

like dust to dust.

I've been waiting forever

to witness your fading,

like ashes to ashes!

Hate, my solution!

Fate, an illusion!

I've been waiting

a lifetime to show you,

I've been waiting

too long!

Hush!

I've been waiting

a lifetime to show you,

you're returning to Heaven

like dust to dust.

I've been waiting forever

to witness your fading,

like ashes to ashes!
