Ravished from our paradise A crack in the mirror I know it's too late So full of life But there it lies Etched on my iris But i try not to think of your You swore to god in veritas And burned our skin like it burned our souls What gentle grief by causing pain She hid behind maples and built her a fortress of sound Here this melody almost forgotten [CHORUS:] I've been waiting a lifetime to show you You're returning to heaven like dust to dust Been waiting forever to witness your fading Like ashes to ashes One day we'll dance on fragile skin Why dull the shyness I suffer in vain The greatest scars remain within Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin Here this melody almost forgotten [CHORUS] (isolation, fate, illusion) [CHORUS 2x]
