"Threnody" lyrics

"Threnody"

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

Kiss like a queen, but you love like a butcher baby
I'll kiss the ring from the floor

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

Let me be your drum, a 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 une histoire de guerre

Kiss like a queen, but you love like a butcher baby
Cold threnody for your soul

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

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

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