Silhouettes Lyrics
I painted my heart black
Just to cover the darker shades
Framed by tears so think from ashes
Oil and bloodWinter solstice night
But in my soul the dark won't step aside
Increased with these long stretched hours
From seconds to years
Until years become centuriesLonely silhouettes
Moving on the wall like wounded birds
With their crooked black claws
Dancing around my throat
Wounded in the hands of winter
I froze to death for her
Outcast from her embrace
I bled to death for herBut I shall return
I will haunt her in her dreamsI rise like a morning star
Strike down the holy ones
Who betrayed their hearts for the crown
That melted over their eyesI shine like the North star
And blind their weak eyes
Fill them with my sorrow
And curse them in my armsYou threw me down the throat of hell
Tied my hands and burned me with your tongue
Drowned me in the nothingness
Into the abyss of your poison well
Lonely silhouettes
Moving on the wall like wounded birds
With their crooked black claws
Dancing around my throatWounded in the hands of winter
I froze to death for her
But I shall return
And sing you back to sleepI rise like a morning star
Strike down the holy ones
Who betrayed their hearts for the crown
That melted over their eyesI shine like the North star
And blind their weak eyes
Fill them with my sorrow
And curse them in my arms
