The Composition of Death Upon Your Breath.
(Verse 1)
In an ancient tome of shadowed lore,
A secret poison to settle the score,
A lover’s whisper, a deadly art,
The composition to tear us apart.
(Pre-Chorus)
Red copper gleaming, nitric acid's burn,
Verdigris and arsenic, from which there’s no return,
Oak bark and rose water, a fatal serenade,
Black soot to bind it, in darkness, it’s made.
(Chorus)
The composition of death upon your breath,
A kiss that leads to the silent depths,
In your arms, I fall to eternal rest,
Poisoned by the love that you professed.
(Verse 2)
A new, glazed pot, the spell's design,
A potion brewed, in shadows confined,
Your lips, a chalice of cold despair,
In each embrace, a whispered prayer.
(Pre-Chorus)
Red copper gleaming, nitric acid's burn,
Verdigris and arsenic, from which there’s no return,
Oak bark and rose water, a fatal serenade,
Black soot to bind it, in darkness, it’s made.
(Chorus)
The composition of death upon your breath,
A kiss that leads to the silent depths,
In your arms, I fall to eternal rest,
Poisoned by the love that you professed.
(Bridge)
In your gaze, the twilight's fall,
A lover's kiss, the end of all,
The Grand Grimoire, its secrets told,
In every kiss, the poison’s cold.
(Breakdown)
A potion brewed from darkest sin,
Your breath the gateway, let death begin,
A recipe of doom, our fates entwined,
In your arms, I lose my mind.
(Chorus)
The composition of death upon your breath,
A kiss that leads to the silent depths,
In your arms, I fall to eternal rest,
Poisoned by the love that you professed.
(Outro)
The final breath, a lover's sigh,
In your arms, I’m doomed to die,
The composition, a lover’s theft,
Death upon your breath, my final bequest.
Lyrics and ALL Vocals yours truly.
