VRS 1
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...
VRS 2
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 her own fortress of sound
PR-HORUS 1
Hear this melody almost forgotten
HORUS
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 a - shes.
INTRLU 1
VRS 3
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.
PR-HORUS 2
Fear this melody almost forgotten
HORUS
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 a - shes.

Hate... my solution...
(I've been waiting a lifetime to show you)
Fate.. An illusion.
I've been waiting to know..
INL HORUS 1
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 a - shes.
INL HORUS 2
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 a - shes.
