Pride and Prejudice (Darkwave Version / Based on Novel by Jane Austen / 1813)

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

You stand in the shadows I watch you smile

A mocking whisper mile after mile

Your prejudice is the weapon you wield

I stand frozen refusing to yield

You dissect my silence you count every stride

An intellectual poison burning inside

We don't speak of love we speak of disdain

Yet in my chest your gaze burns like rain

Chorus

Prejudice in your eyes pride in my mind

Two steps forward leaving nothing behind

A mental marriage of coldness and stone

We can't be together we can't be alone

In the darkness we dance on our own

Post-Chorus

On our own

On our own

Dance on our own

Verse 2

I called you tolerable not handsome to please

Yet my eyes search for you through the candlelit breeze

You mock my status my fortune my pride

A dance on razor blades with nowhere to hide

We hate each other too much to ever break free

Two souls in exile locked in apathy

No warmth in our hearts just the chill of the brain

I reach for your hand and we burn in the flame

Chorus

Prejudice in your eyes pride in my mind

Two steps forward leaving nothing behind

A mental marriage of coldness and stone

We can't be together we can't be alone

In the darkness we dance on our own

Post-Chorus

On our own

On our own

Dance on our own

Bridge

Pemberley is cold

Netherfield is bare

You are watching me

I shouldn't even care

But I do

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Prejudice in your eyes pride in my mind

Two steps forward leaving nothing behind

A mental marriage of coldness and stone

We can't be together we can't be alone

In the darkness we dance on our own

Outro

Cold dance

Silent gaze

No escape

Lost in the maze

Pride prejudice

Until the lights fade
