[Verse 1]
The hanged men dance
So dark that I found myself grasping for light in this parallel world
Well, I feel that I belong here
The stolen heart
The death of humanity hidden in ink on a page filled with love
For your own damn misery

[Pre-Chorus]
And it makes me wonder
How grateful do I feel
When I blow out the candle?

[Chorus]
Here on the shores of melancholia
Winter is draining the life out of summer and hope torn asunder
The tale of the dead soldiers' bones makes a beautiful ending
A perverse embrace
One final breath under scarlet clouds

[Verse 2]
Gather 'round
Come witness the death of a dream and the birth of the upper class
As the vultures gather
Ophelia
Too human, too soft for this life, as your innocence fell from the sky
In my own backyard

[Pre-Chorus]
And it makes me wonder
How grateful did you feel
When you blew out the candle?

[Chorus]
Here on the shores of melancholia
Winter is draining the life out of summer and hope torn asunder
The tale of the dead soldiers' bones makes a beautiful ending
A perverse embrace (A perverse embrace)
One final breath under scarlet clouds

[Chorus]
Here on the shores of melancholia
Winter is draining the life out of summer and hope torn asunder
The tale of the dead soldiers' bones makes a beautiful ending
A perverse embrace (A perverse embrace)
One final breath under scarlet clouds

[Outro]
Under scarlet clouds
(When you blew out the candle)
Under scarlet clouds
(When you blew out the candle)
