Lyrics

[Intro: Bill Nighy] This the oldest story in the book He desires the one thing he cannot have [Segue: Shawn Milke] My darling queen, I lay myself at your feet (Teef ruoy ta flesym yal I ,neeuq gnilrad ym) And I shall stay the hands of fate [Verse 1: Dennis Lee] Wind cries out, heavens boil above Voicing discontent to my sins I have found the way to trick the ferryman I have deceived the ancient gods [Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Cold flesh lends to me its secrets Each day brings me closer to you For a price too high My tragic victory I shudder at what I have done [Verse 2: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] (Darling queen, I lay at your feet) Chills take me as she wakes, throat gasps tainted breath I've reclaimed you, my stolen bride (Can your soul forgive) My crimes of passion? I would not close the casket [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke , Adam Ferguson & Dennis Lee] I'm so consumed by your pain (Your pain) Faint screams echo through the night (The night) [Chorus: Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Adam Ferguson] Cold flesh lends to me its secrets Each day brings me closer to you For a price too high My tragic victory I shudder at what I have done [Bridge: Shawn Milke] The pains of death can no longer haunt you (As the dawning sky brings forth one) As the dawning sky brings forth one (Forsaken thought) Death can not live, for I now dwell in the palace of decay (I shall stay) The hands of fate [Breakdown: Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee, Shawn Milke & Adam Ferguson] Night descends, sinews twitch My pale queen finally stands To taste silent lips Now cursed with her love [Chorus: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] Cold flesh lends to me its secrets Each day brings me closer to you For a price too high My tragic victory Cold flesh lends to me its secrets Each day brings me closer to you For a price too high My tragic victory I shudder at what I have done
