Lyrics
Description
beneath the ithris stones where moonlight hides,
candle halos tremble on the altar's side.
chess pieces frozen, skeletons keep time,
stained-glass fingers trace the edges of your mind.
marble breathes a story wrapped in rust and gold,
fractured mirrors whisper names we never told.
you stand in ruined aisles, a silhouette of flame,
calling through the hush — i'm answering your name.
i trade the quiet for your thunder,
holding breaths for what comes after.
a heartbeat like a distant drum,
pulls the dark until it comes undone.
cry for me — when daylight bleeds,
let the stained glass speak the truth we keep.
cry for me — through cathedral noise,
break the quiet; give me one more voice.
footsteps echo down the nave of falling vows,
dust becomes a promise on the tips of vows.
your silhouette a comet carved from loss and light,
flicker in the rafters, woven into night.
ithris cemetery keeps the names like rain,
every drop a memory, every stone a claim.
you lift your hands — the chandeliers sigh low,
i hold the space where your broken lanterns glow.
i trade the quiet for your thunder,
holding breaths for what comes after.
this hush is heavy like a hymn undone,
we wait together for the rising sun.
cry for me — when daylight bleeds,
let the stained glass speak the truth we keep.
cry for me — in cathedral light,
tear the silence open, set the dark alight.
confession in the bell-iron: i hid the key,
forged it from the hollow parts that kept me free.
i fed the ghosts to keep my hands from shaking,
but every lie is ash — and i'm the one still breaking.
so if your tears can map a way back home,
i'll follow ruined aisles where wandering shadows roam.
this is the turning — not forgiveness, not defeat,
but trading all my ghosts for the warmth beneath your feet.
(o-o-oh) let the echoes fall like rain —
(ah-ah) let the marble hold your name —
(o-o-oh) hear the choir from the stones —
(ah-ah) you are not alone.
cry for me — when daylight bleeds,
let the stained glass speak the truth we keep.
cry for me — then stay awhile,
leave the broken doorway lit with your small smile.
fade with me through arches carved in time,
cry for me, and let the ruins rhyme.
in cathedral shadows, we become a plea —
stay beside the lantern, and cry for me.
