lyrics

Black skies on the lakeside of tomorrow, Singing songs of grief under the sun and there's a black-hearted sparrow, right in the crosshairs of my gun and my aim may be steady and my aim may it be true There's a black corset on her lungs and her figure is comely and her lips they are too we're gonna meet between the setting and the rising of the sun

And there's a late night lonesome wind that blows all throughout this valley and its colder than the love bestowed upon me by you
A past nostalgic memory of loyalties and hardships bearing my love to a woman with lovers lined up in queue
And her cold gaze could pierce the hearts of a million
And a million is the count of whom that died upon that day
And I was the one who buried all of their bodies Inside her walls of paradise where nothing bled true

Yeah you were the queen of a loveless empire and that kingdom devoured you whole
A past nostalgic memory of loyalty and hardship meant nothing, to no one, as it was told

So I remember you in my thoughts as the one who slayed the company
of one million bleeding hearts just to die in late June
And I thought that these thoughts would soon be ending
But they continue as I remember the truth
That my aim was steady, righteous, and wholly blinded by you
And under the black skies of the lakeside of tomorrow I found a time so opportune
So I escaped from those walls, your promised paradise,
and found myself in another's eyes to be held under the moon

Yeah you were the queen of a loveless empire and that kingdom devoured you whole
A past nostalgic memory of loyalty and hardship meant nothing, to no one, as it was told
