Lyrics

Verse

The candlelight is dancing slow
Across the velvet, pale and low
The lace is stiff, the silk is tight
A heavy air, a hollow light
We smile through teeth of polished white

Chorus

Oh, the bells ring out so loud and clear
But there is nothing left to hear
Just the rustle of a dying vow
In this golden, lonely now
We are trapped within the vow

Verse

The harpsichord begins to play
To chase the bitter thoughts away
A scripted dance, a practiced bow
No one cares for heaven now
The heavy scent of rose and sin

Chorus

Oh, the bells ring out so loud and clear
But there is nothing left to hear
Just the rustle of a dying vow
In this golden, lonely now
We are trapped within the vow
