About this track

The Velvet Lantern (Herr Purpur & Aurora) lyrics by Herr Purpur & ChatGPT image from PInterest music by Suno AI The Velvet Lantern (Herr Purpur) There’s perfume in the midnight stair And laughter braided through your hair The clock forgets to count the hour While shadows bloom like paper flowers You beckon stars with your gloved hand To waltz across this borrowed land Your voice a spell, your sigh a choir You set my smoke and soul on fire Oh, velvet lantern, swing so low Light the faces I used to know Your golden flame, it hums my name In the language of vertigo A fortune told in sugared rhyme The mirror cracks, but still in time Your teacup glows, your earrings ring With whispers from the other spring I took your hand — it weighed like snow You said, “There’s nowhere left to go But inward, love — the sweetest sin Is letting the universe walk in.” Oh, velvet lantern, swing so low Light the faces I used to know Your golden flame, it hums my name In the language of vertigo Sip the night, my tattered muse Dreams are just old dancing shoes Every wish must burn to shine Every end becomes divine Oh, velvet lantern, fade to blue I’ll lose my heart remembering you Through smoke and sighs, through wax and wire We drift away in candle fire
