She moves like smoke through a midnight door
A shadow etched on the ashen floor
Her lips are embers, her gaze a spark
Igniting flames where the world is dark
And in her fire,
the heart betrays Burning the lines of safer ways
The velvet pyre,
soft and cruel Consumes the wise,
consumes the fool
Oh,
to burn,
to lose control To pay the price of a reckless soul
The velvet pyre,
the crimson thread Love is fire and fire is fed
Her touch leaves scars, her breath a sting
A hymn that crumbles everything
The pyre dances in her name
A holy ruin,
a sacred flame
And in her fire,
the heart is bound
Lost in the glow,
the siren's sound
The velvet pyre,
a siren's lure Promises pain and something pure
Oh, to burn,
to lose control To pay the price of a reckless soul
The velvet pyre,
the crimson thread Love is fire and fire is fed
Step closer,
feel the heat arise The flame consumes but never dies
Your heart a torch,
your will its fuel The fire's lore is harsh but true
And when the ash
is all that's left
The pyre's hymn still fills your chest
For in her fire,
we're all made whole
To burn is the fate of every soul
