[Intro]
Oh, the nightfall
[Verse 1]
Velvet dress, the one that haunts like a shadow's caress
You've read my soul, you know the cryptic depths, no less
And I'll tell you one thing, darkling
I can see the eclipse in your eyes, it's alluring
Leaning on the tombstone, tales of old are stirring
Once you start to smirk, I'm succumbing in (Oh, the nightfall)
[Chorus]
Whether I'm gonna be the moonlight or
Gonna be the thorn in your side, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna claim your heart
Whether I'm gonna write you in runes or
Whisk you away to the witching hour, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna claim your heart
[Post-Chorus]
I, I catch the secrets in your stare
I'll make you savor the midnight air
You'll find that you were always bound to my heart
(You're bound to my heart)
[Verse 2]
Whispered words, a touch as soft as a raven's wing
I'm the melody that the nightingales refuse to sing
And I'll tell you one thing, darkling
I can be the solace in your tempest, your sanctuary
Turn the page and we'll craft a legend, extraordinary
Or I might just enchant you 'til the stars depart
[Chorus]
Whether I'm gonna be the moonlight or
Gonna be the thorn in your side, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna claim your heart
Whether I'm gonna hold you in a trance or
Dance with you under the crescent moon, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna claim your heart
[Post-Chorus]
I, I catch the secrets in your stare
I'll make you savor the midnight air
You'll find that you were always bound to my heart
(You're bound to my heart)
[Bridge]
I can feel the mystique, the allure in the way you speak
Press the ancient amulet, our fates are intertwined, unique
Say you're feeling haunted, I'll say I'm feeling too
Even if we're cursed, I'm leaving this realm with you
Bygones will be bygones, memories shrouded in mist (Shrouded in mist)
We're the enigma, together we exist (Oh)
Told my heart to be wary, but with you, it's all the same
Choose your spell, my love, with you I'll play the game
[Chorus]
Whether I'm gonna be the moonlight or
Gonna be the thorn in your side, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna claim your heart
Whether I'm gonna whisper incantations or
Shout it from the gothic spires, I haven't decided yet
But I'm gonna claim your heart
[Post-Chorus]
I, I catch the secrets in your stare
I'll make you savor the midnight air
You'll find that you were always bound to my heart
[Outro]
I'm gonna claim your heart
