before our swan song, when the night's long
you raze the spires, you hurl them to the sea
lay waste to landscapes in my heartaches

the less you speak, the less you look at me

you take away my breath, my heart, my blood

desolation, devastate
you take away what's left, my light, my love
desolation, decimate


your name is winter, and we wither
your eyes are haggard, gazing at the sea

where are you, moonchild, is it too wild
to think that you could drown out my dreams


you take away my breath, my heart, my blood
desolation, devastate
you take away what's left, my light, my love

desolation, decimate

you move the stars

you turn my world
you do, you do


my mind is a fallacy
maladies colliding with the coldest reality
you had mastery

picked me up
i felt like i'd never come back to gravity
chased our lucky stars through galaxies

started families, we had fantasies
every ever after was happily
then we hit the apex and the apogee

i built you a palace, you banished me
called you majesty, you gave me amnesty
i was your canopy when the sun rained fire

and you spit my love back to me callously
my tragedy is my safe place
this rhapsody is my gateway

i embrace fate, even if it means catastrophe
and you take away my breath


you take away my breath, my heart, my blood
desolation, devastate
you take away what's left, my light, my love

desolation, decimate

you move the stars

you turn my world
you do, you do
