Kingdom for Her Smile

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Black limousine pulls up at midnight

Driver's a wraith in a silver duster

I take her hand through the obsidian gate

Reservation under a name that won't rust

Pre-Chorus

She's dripping in starlight and sorrow

I'm counting the centuries I'll borrow

Chorus

Thirteenth prince spent a kingdom tonight

Obsidian caviar and moon-wine so bright

Every star I can pawn for her smile

She's worth a thousand burning worlds

(Thousand burning worlds)

Post-Chorus

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

For my dark queen's crown

Verse 2

The chef carves shadows on a plate of jet

The sommelier pours us a vintage of regret

She laughs and the chandeliers flicker low

I tip the maitre'd in ancient sorrow

Pre-Chorus

She's dressed in the fabric of comets

I'm spending the weight of whole planets

Chorus

Thirteenth prince spent a kingdom tonight

Obsidian caviar and moon-wine so bright

Every star I can pawn for her smile

She's worth a thousand burning worlds

(Thousand burning worlds)

Post-Chorus

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

For my dark queen's crown

Bridge

Candle wax drips like molten regret

She traces my palm with a finger of jet

She says the view's nice but the night's not done

So I buy her the moon and I swallow the sun

(Swallow the sun)

Chorus

Thirteenth prince spent a kingdom tonight

Obsidian caviar and moon-wine so bright

Every star I can pawn for her smile

She's worth a thousand burning worlds

(Thousand burning worlds)

Post-Chorus

Burn it all down

Burn it all down

For my dark queen's crown
