The Lady Fades Video (MV)

Once
She was immortal in our eyes, irresistible
A visual miracle, sublime
A window to our souls in every lyrical curve and line
Her prime time was a ripening for a crime
She waited, patient for the rest of the world
Her arms unfurled, her talons clean and sure
Charms ready for a reckoning
Daring to a planet; "Your history is beckoning."

Brave the pain
We have the light to guide us all
Save the sane
We will decide who stands and falls
Now we see the price of your dissension
Leave behind the lie of apprehension
Shine or fade
It's all the same, we're moving on

Beneath a bodice of lace lies a tattered reality
In the place of the grace of a gilded age
A strategy of rage turning pages in a race to calamity
The vanity of every Sage engaged
Torn from a form, a lecture of promises, in lies all adorned
The warnings of a horde of savages ignored
The dawning day is at an end
Gentlemen, pocket your pens...
Get ready for the sword!

Brave the pain
We have the light to guide us all
Save the sane
We will decide who stands and falls
Now we see the price of your dissension
Leave behind the lie of apprehension
Shine or fade
It's all the same, we're moving on

Your eyes knowing, even as your mind denies
The cracks showing
The blood of the dream is flowing
Skin, once alight to an envy aloud
Devoured
A chorus soured by the blackening of the sky

Brave the pain
We have the light to guide us all
Save the sane
We will decide who stands and falls
Now we see the price of your dissension
Leave behind the lie of apprehension
Shine or fade
It's all the same, we're moving on
