Lyrics
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...

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

Hear this melody almost forgotten

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 ashes.

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.

Fear this melody almost forgotten

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 ashes!

Hate... My solution...

Fate... An illusion.

[Chorus x2]
