lyrics

PART I (Instrumental)


PART II

The coldest fires are found in hell
I know the road to that place all too well
So take my hand and I will guide you all the way
Down, down, down
Into darkness underground

The secrets trapped inside your broken heart
Were on your lips before they tore you apart
And you can't say a word to me as we go silently
Down, down, down
Not a single sound

Talk to me, it's not too late
We can cheat the strings of fate
Break my golden vow and steal you away
A sea of sorrow in your eyes
Wash away the tears you cried
Mercury and water rise against the tide

Daughter of the river made to run
The fury of the thunder stole your tongue
But I will keep you safe and hide you from the flames
If you come with me
I will set you free

Come with me, it's not too late
We will cheat the strings of fate
Fight the gods and monsters standing in our way
See the promise in my eyes
You and I are meant to rise
Mercury and water run into the night

Does she hear a god or just a man?
A snake with a silver tongue
She chokes on her reply
Shouts drown in her lungs
There’s no love in desperation
But freedom has a price
Quicksilver-poisoned blood
A half-life must suffice

Caught between metal and fire
Is there any way to choose
When the river of words runs dry
And there’s nothing left to lose
All the secrets, all the lies
Are just a game played by the gods
Such a hollow victory
To survive against the odds

Talk to me, it's not too late
We can cheat the strings of fate
Break my golden vow and steal you away
A sea of sorrow in your eyes
Wash away the tears you cried
Mercury and water run into the night

Come with me into the light
Escape the underworld tonight
We can be a secret hiding out of sight
Through the forest we will run
You and I can be as one
Mercury and Larunda rising like the sun
