Princess of the Dark

Verse 1

Cold throne of midnight

Thirteenth of his line

Crowned in silent thunder

Half a heart to find

She ruled the hollow gardens

Where no star would bloom

I crossed a hundred thresholds

To meet her in the gloom

Pre-Chorus

And the shadows watched us slow

And the dark began to glow

Chorus

She's the princess of the dark

And I'm the prince of falling night

Two crowns of ash and quiet

Burning into one light

Burning into one light

Verse 2

Her eyes were made of eclipse

Her voice a distant bell

She never learned to flinch

In the kingdom of farewell

I offered her a single ember

Stolen from my chest

She held it like a secret

And put the dark to rest

Pre-Chorus

And the shadows leaned in close

And the dark began to glow

Chorus

She's the princess of the dark

And I'm the prince of falling night

Two crowns of ash and quiet

Burning into one light

Burning into one light

Bridge

(Darkness in darkness)

(Darkness in darkness)

We were never meant to soften

Yet the midnight taught us how

Twin empires of the gone and lost

One kingdom now

Chorus

She's the princess of the dark

And I'm the prince of falling night

Two crowns of ash and quiet

Burning

Burning into one light
