seven spires - songs upon wine-stained tongues lyrics

meet me where the sand meets the sea
my home is atop that crumbling cliff
follow me up the steep path, you may come in
more a fortress, less of a home
it’s the only place i call my own
and the tall ship on the grey seas when they flash emerald green

foolish though it may be
to indulge in all that we’ve been
we’ll uncork the spirits of our past
and welcome them in

oh, the laughter flushed in your cheeks
your legato half+rhymes
echo down tapestried halls
i’m almost alive

songs upon wine+stained tongues
stories over hearty soup
let me remind you of all you forgot you knew

down the hall, up the stairs
most nights i spiral down, down, down
but would you like a vista of a starlit town?
higher still, been so long
no one dared visit in eons
look just there, breathe the night air
beneath the stars
our hands are like ice
should have known that you’re like me
if you have time, i’d like to hear
all about the things you’ve seen
those spectres in your eyes
the seabreeze in your hair
what dark voyage left you soulfully scarred?

they shunned me, a fatherless boy
with only one friend, who taught me the words of men
then i wove them in melodies and garnered acclaim
i sang for my fortune, for all that was lost
i saw every kingdom but never forgot
the one who brought me from silence to serenade

the way was rough, the sea took my life
to a decadent h+ll in eternal night
with a demon who dealt in souls and granted dreams
it called me darling, gave me its years
i live on borrowed time with tears
long+run dry, so i weep them in songs of memories

i know that one, minor iv and back home?
the deep+rooted ache, to be seen, to be known
our hands like ice, but comfort glows
like embers fanned by songs on wine+stained tongues
yeah!
we laugh, i cry, the night goes on
the shadows of old friends long+gone
somehow doesn’t frighten you away

cinnamon smoke, candlelight on your face
fingers entwined in the night’s embrace
our eyes shut, but you’ve seen me, and i’ve seen you
comfort in company, and songs we both knew

i’ve seen you, you’ve seen me
if our demons dance, so can we

i live for the days when your fangs lay bare
your stormy oceans and starlight stare
to h+ll with it all
i love you now and forever
