Ruins of Aethermoor (DJ H mix)

I feel your shadow walking through the rain

You left your name on the windowpane

In frost that never melts away

Verse 1 – Female

I hear your voice in the hollow trees

A song the night keeps singing back to me

You called me once from the other side

And I've been listening ever since

Chorus – Both

Dance with me in the ruins

Where the dead still know our names

Hold me close till the morning

Burns the darkness into flame

We're only ghosts in the mirror

Two hearts that lost their way

So dance with me in the ruins

Until the night forgets our names

Verse 2 – Male

Your dress is made of autumn leaves

It falls apart every time you breathe

I try to catch what's left of you

But all I hold is cold perfume

Verse 2 – Female

Your hands still know the shape of mine

Even though they've turned to time

I wear your promise like a scar

That glows beneath the harvest moon

Chorus – Both

Dance with me in the ruins

Where the dead still know our names

Hold me close till the morning

Burns the darkness into flame

We're only ghosts in the mirror

Two hearts that lost their way

So dance with me in the ruins

Until the night forgets our names

Outro Verse – Male

The candles gutter in the hall

Your portrait’s turned against the wall

I count the years in candlewax

And every year I want you back

Outro Verse – Female

The pumpkins rot along the lane

The children run from what they can’t name

I wait for you beneath the yew

Where every ghost has once been you

Chorus – Both

Dance with me in the ruins

Where the dead still know our names

Hold me close till the morning

Burns the darkness into flame

We’re only ghosts in the mirror

Two hearts that lost their way

So dance with me in the ruins

Until the night forgets our names

Verse 3 – Male

The organ plays without a hand

A wedding march for the unburied land

I carved our initials in the stone

So neither of us dies alone

Verse 3 – Female

The mist is braiding through my hair

You touch my wrist and find me there

Your skin is colder than the frost

But colder still is what we lost

Pre-Chorus – Both

If the veil should tear tonight

And every lantern lose its light

I will find you by the sound

Of your footsteps underground

Chorus – Both

Dance with me in the ruins

Where the dead still know our names

Hold me close till the morning

Burns the darkness into flame

We’re only ghosts in the mirror

Two hearts that lost their way

So dance with me in the ruins

Until the night forgets our names

Drop

Fall with me, fall with me

Through the hollow of the year

Fall with me, fall with me

I am here, I am here

Fall with me, fall with me

Let the harvest take the rest

Fall with me, fall with me

Till there’s nothing left to bless

Bridge – Male then Female

(Male)

The clock has stopped inside this house

(Female)

So has my heart, I think

(Male)

I’ll keep the door unlatched for you

(Female)

I’ll meet you at the brink

Verse 4 – Female

The crows are stitching up the sky

A seam of black where summers die

I wear your ring on my left hand

Though neither of us walks this land

Verse 4 – Male

The river carries what it takes

The ferryman has made mistakes

He lets us cross but never through

He keeps one half of me with you

Breakdown – Both

We are the frost on the glass

We are the hour that will not pass

We are the lanterns on the lake

We are the names the night won't take

Chorus – Both

Dance with me in the ruins

Where the dead still know our names

Hold me close till the morning

Burns the darkness into flame

We’re only ghosts in the mirror

Two hearts that lost their way

So dance with me in the ruins

Until the night forgets our names

Post-Chorus – Both

Oh, oh, we remain

Oh, oh, in the rain

Oh, oh, call my name

Oh, oh, all the same

Final Verse – Male

The bonfire’s low, the saints have gone

The longest night is coming on

I’ll hold your hand inside the cold

And we will never not be old

Final Verse – Female

Then let the season have its way

Let every grave forget the day

I found you once between the stones

And I will never leave you alone

Final Chorus – Both

Dance with me in the ruins

Where the dead still know our names

Hold me closer than the silence

That will one day take our place

We’re only ghosts in the mirror

But tonight we still remain

So dance with me in the ruins

Until the night forgets our names

Outro – Female then Male

(Female)

Sleep now, love, the veil is thin

(Male)

I’ll be waiting when you come in

(Female)

Count the bells and count them slow

(Male)

One for you and one to go

(Both)

Until the night forgets our names

Until the night forgets our names
