I feel we're living the last days of Versailles As beauty fades before my eyes Convinced as I am The gods owe us time, I'd destroy this world To keep what's mine. My universe is necrotising As I stumble through ruins And colour drains away. I bargain for time... Throughout the many lives we've lived before knowing only each time we return, To experience full transfiguration You have to be willing to burn.

The Last Days of Versailles
I feel we're living the last days of Versailles As beauty fades before my eyes Convinced as I am The gods owe us time, I'd destroy this world To keep what's mine. My universe is necrotising As I stumble through ruins And colour drains away. I bargain for time... Throughout the many lives we've lived before knowing only each time we return, To experience full transfiguration You have to be willing to burn.
