My Long Dead Queen Lyrics


A thousand eyes, each one a window to nothing

All my life spent chasing a wisp of smoke in the air

A myth of my own creation

A key to my gilded cage

There's so much that I don't understand

About you, about me, about all that I see

In my madness I run to the flames

And my path slowly vanishes under my feet

When something defies logical explanation

Then which of my senses am I to believe?

We rebuilt your castle

At the cost of our lives

Were we meant to survive?

Were we ever alive?

We may never know

So I say....

Come and haunt this room with me, my long-dead queen

And dance this twisted dance of death and revelry

Won't you haunt this room with me

I'm prepared to follow you to your tomb

Lie beside you until they find you

Cast you down, burn your throne

Making your blood their own

Oh yes, I know what I am to you

An easy sacrifice to the circling vultures

This demon lives inside us all, in our flaws

But I never meant to let you fall into its jaws

As they chew you up and eat you raw

Come and haunt this room with me, my long-dead queen

And dance this twisted dance of death and revelry

Come and haunt this room with me, my long-dead queen

And dance this twisted dance of death and revelry

Won't you haunt this room with me
