lyrics

Have you ever tasted something sweet
Something so delicious feels fictitious, you can't believe
Have you ever sung a Threnody
Sung it loud, unveiling and detailing your stage of grief
What fun to be us
Being so chaotic and being so hypnotic, so treacherous
My life has been blessed
You are so delightful I am never spiteful, only obsessed

I knew from the point of ignition that the fire would be burning in seconds flat
The flames would develop so dangerously the crackling and burning a symphony
Your laughter joined into the throng
You melted my heart with that song
The cherry on top of a perfect life, strawberry and cream with a butter knife

Inseparable and beautiful, I never knew how I'd love life with you I never knew that you'd be my heart
I know that it's real this love that we both feel, I know we can't exist apart

Have you ever tasted something sweet
Something so delicious feels fictitious, you can't believe
Have you ever sung a Threnody
Sung it loud, unveiling and detailing your stage of grief
You're turning the tide
I feel no frustration, and no indignation, not by your side
They don't understand
How we get along, but I know that they're wrong
We're fine hand-in-hand

The Empress advanced at a rapid pace, I knew one day we'd be face to face
Acceptance accepted their fate but we would never back down quite so easily
You knew that they'd win and so sweet, you said Des, you have to retreat
But I'd never leave you to fight in vain, if I had the chance I'd do it all again

The soldiers, for better or worse, don't realise their blessing's a curse
They've taken her power inside, the chrysalis knows where to hide
They say that they fight for the good then rip away more than they should
The darkness is all I have now, I'll return Eton to me somehow

Desmodus I know you are with the vampire royalty
The clan is not too far from here, you're not too far from me
This spellbook says immortal blood will cure my owner Nim
Now I am on my way to you, your loving Bargaining

Have you ever been forced away
Kept inside an object treated like a subject every day
Have you ever lived a Threnody
Bargaining is freedom, make some deals to see him, come back to me
Denial got free
And she came about and said she'd get us out I ask where is she
She didn't succeed
She was quickly hunted and she was confronted
We were not freed
