Velvet Ladder Rise 2 (wersja 2)

Verse

Frost on the collarbone, steel against skin

Ladder of light unfolding where shadows spin

Rhythm draws the blade to the heart's dark door

No name is spoken but every step is ours

Every drop that falls feeds the fire below

This is what we've waited for when daylight goes

Pre-Chorus

Let the weight drop, let it slide down

Into the night where the pulse comes round

Hold your breath as the wall turns gold

Nothing left but light in our veins to hold

Chorus

Velvet ladder rise into the dark and slow

Every step takes us farther from what we used to know

Let it burn until nothing is left behind

This is how we leave the world behind

Velvet ladder rise into the dark and slow

Every drop that falls feeds the light below

Hold your breath, let go, let it slide down

Nothing left but fire in our veins to wear around

Verse

Cold against skin where the frost begins to fade

Ladder made of embers leading up the shade

Every name we carry written on our palms now gone

This is how we learn to move before the dawn

The dark below is empty, only heat remains

Nothing left but what's burning in these veins

Pre-Chorus

Let the weight drop, let it slide down

Into the night where the pulse comes round

Hold your breath as the wall turns gold

Nothing left but light in our veins to hold

Chorus

Velvet ladder rise into the dark and slow

Every step takes us farther from what we used to know

Let it burn until nothing is left behind

This is how we leave the world behind

Velvet ladder rise into the dark and slow

Every drop that falls feeds the light below

Hold your breath, let go, let it slide down

Nothing left but fire in our veins to wear around

Bridge

No shadow's left when every star turns gold

This is how we learn to burn with what we're told

The ladder's gone, only heat remains

We are the embers that this night has gained

Chorus

Velvet ladder rise into the dark and slow

Every step takes us farther from what we used to know

Let it burn until nothing is left behind

This is how we leave the world behind

Velvet ladder rise into the dark and slow

Every drop that falls feeds the light below

Hold your breath, let go, let it slide down

Nothing left but fire in our veins to wear around
