Lyrics:

[Prologue]
Curtains rise on candle wax
Midnight strikes, no turning back
Behind the glass, his hungry stare
John waits still above the stair

Painted lips and silver canes
Old regrets in shadow games
Miriam whispers to the night
A lover's debt, a silent fight

[Verse 0]
Rain grieves against obsidian stone
Pictures flicker, overthrown
Alice dances down the drive
Unaware of who’s alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Gates creak open, secrets spill
Invitation, trembling will
Darkened rooms where futures freeze
John prepares behind the keys

[Verse 1]
Cold marble halls, the clock unwinds
John waits hungry, weaving signs
Miriam plots with her velvet voice
Alice, sweet Alice, the chosen choice

[Pre-Chorus]
Footsteps echo, courage thin
The serpent smile draws her in
Pale with longing, wicked pride
John keeps darkness just outside

[Chorus]
Alice sleeps through crimson doors
Shadows flicker on the floor
Innocence drains, heart pours
Ashes carried evermore

[Post-Chorus]
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh

[Verse 2]
She calls for tea inside these walls
Sunlight weeps as the portrait falls
A silver knife in a trembling hand
John's a beast — she never planned

[Pre-Chorus]
Candles gutter out of fear
Heat descends, intention clear
The mask of kin pulled thin and torn
In this room a traitor's born

[Chorus]
Alice sleeps through crimson doors
Shadows flicker on the floor
Innocence drains, heart pours
Ashes carried evermore

[Post-Chorus]
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh

[Bridge]
Crimson stains the marble tile
Alice fades with every mile
All that's left a fractured smile
Smoke ascends in secret style

[Outro]
No more dreams behind those eyes
Sunrise scorched by silent lies
John retreats, a stain remains
Hungry ghosts behind the panes

[Post-Chorus]
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh

[Post-Outro]
Windows rattle in the gloom
Ash and memory perfume
Haunted marrow, bitter tune
Alice lost in every room

[Post-Chorus]
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
Ah ah oh
