[Intro — whispered] Under a blood moon I watched her dance. And In the water below her, Something gazed as I took a glance. [Verse 1] She danced where bleeding clover grows, The blood traced under the tips of her toes. Black feathers woven in her tangled hair, Worn like talismans of despair My blood it calls her name, Through broken echos of never ending pain, Where hunger breeds inside she feels alone Oh, bleeding clover, stain this heart of stone, [Pre-Chorus] She can hear my voice underneath, Calling from the dark, “Come to me, self thought tragedy, Come tear apart..., what blackened your heart.” [Chorus] She's a black swan wading in the water, Dancing where the ground drowns. She keeps reaching for the crimson moon While the darkness keeps pulling us down. If you love me, you won't vanish, If you need me, let me bleed. I was born than survived the ruins, And the ruins rebuild in me. [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, we're falling… Oh-oh, still calling… Oh-oh, don’t try to flee— Dancing in the dark is where she longs to be. [Verse 2] There’s an invisible crown atop my head, Every promise broken leaves trust undead. I said forever like a beautiful curse, Then bade the dying stars to intersperse. The black swan reflects on the water, Corpse flower petals in full bloom, Necrotic twilight scent with velvet slaughter, The flower drinks the blood of the bleeding clover... and feeds on light of the full moon. [Pre-Chorus] She senses a ghost beneath her skin, It looks just like me. I whisper, “Let the darkness in— The light is what is keeping you from being free.” [Chorus] She's a black swan wading in the water, Dancing where the ground drowns. She keeps reaching for the crimson moon While the darkness keeps pulling us down. If you love me, you won't vanish, If you need me, let me bleed. I was born than survived the ruins, And the ruins rebuild in me. [Bridge — stripped down, intimate] Look at me… I'm a alluring monster waiting to break. Look at her… There’s pretty venom in her veins Reflections know the truth— They never learned to lie. I'm the one to be left behind When I fought myself to not die. [Instrumental Break — explosive guitars / drums] [Final Chorus — huge, emotional] She is the black swan in the water, With the moonlight in her eyes. She's been dancing with a vampire Not just to feel alive. Let the sun watch me burn. Let the shadows hear me cry, Let those be warned When the hunger shall rise The black swan will want to fly [Final Post-Chorus] Oh-oh, She's falling… Oh-oh, still calling… Oh-oh, the promises broken But love won’t let go of me. [Outro — whispered] And when the moon is bled from sever, As the dying candle fades… You’ll find a shadow still dancing forever, In the reflection… Of my Black Swan Masquerade
