about

Track 1 from the debut album, 'The Red Room'

lyrics

Blood rushing round
And wine pouring down
The walls of this place we called home
This masquerade
A last serenade
For the undertakers of Rome

It’s late in the day
We’re losing our way
And we’ve nothing on which to rely
The night’s drawing in
And the wall’s crumbling
But the moon lends a glint to your eye

And well, look around
There’s not a sound
So we touch
And it’s all just too much

We forget who we are
Now we’ve come this far
And we share a kiss in the dark
And I no longer care
For the world out there
It can burn in a single white spark

My world’s spinning round
The blood starts to pound
With your touch
And it’s all just too much

The cold light of day
Shows up the stains
On the walls of this place we called home
Last night’s masquerade
A last serenade
For the undertakers of Rome

Don’t leave me alone
I’m stripped to the bone
And I don’t know the way to get home
I slump to the floor
Outside your front door
And I know that I’m finished with Rome

And well, look around
Till your eyes have found all the pain
Like thundering rain

But I cannot blame
You, all the same,
It was only the last days of Rome
And now that we’re through
Perhaps me and you
Will find our separate ways home

And well, look around
There’s not a sound
Oh, it’s strange
That nothing remains
