Blood Like Wine
Verse 1
Velvet dusk on a silver tongue,
Candles bow where the night’s begun.
Gold-leaf sins in a crystal line,
Every heartbeat slow-drips time.
Pre-Chorus
Sip the dark till it stains your smile,
Let the world wait a little while.
What we lose, we learn to keep—
In the quiet where the rich nights sleep.
Chorus
Blood like wine, let it spill and shine,
Sweet and old as the stars align.
Raise your glass to the endless now,
To the velvet vow we never allow to bow.
Blood like wine, let the ages dine,
On the hunger that makes us divine.
Verse 2
Silk and smoke in the chandelier glow,
Diamonds learn how to breathe down low.
Every scar wears a halo thin,
Every sin tastes better when it wins.
Pre-Chorus
Luxury in the way you sigh,
Immortality dressed in sighs.
Take it slow, let forever burn—
Every lesson’s one we’ll never learn.
Chorus
Blood like wine, let it spill and shine,
Sweet and old as the stars align.
Raise your glass to the endless now,
To the velvet vow we never allow to bow.
Blood like wine, let the ages dine,
On the hunger that makes us divine.
Bridge
Marble nights, gilded throats,
We toast to ghosts in tailored coats.
Time kneels down, we never do,
We make a feast of what we outgrew.
Verse 3
Opulence hums in the pulse we share,
Every breath a whispered dare.
What’s a soul but a room to fill,
With the art of want and the grace of will?
Final Chorus
Blood like wine, let it spill and shine,
Century-deep, forever fine.
Raise your glass to the endless now,
To the velvet vow we never allow to bow.
Blood like wine, let the ages dine,
On the hunger that makes us divine.
Outro
Candles fade, the night reclines,
We drink the dark—
Blood like wine.
