Matchstick Girl Lyrics - As The Dark Against My Halo - Crüxshadows

silent and distressed 

forsaken to the cold 

moonlit her shadow 

like ink upon the snow 

barefoot she shivers 

with nowhere else to go 

matches, matches here for sale 

and on this drifting course through time 

beneath the limitless sublime 

a heart beats slowly and afraid 

phantom faces at her side 

in their anguish cannot hide 

the beauty and the frailty of life

in desperation she strikes a match 

her fingers burn with fire and ash 

escape a heart in a perfect world 

her eyes light up: the matchstick girl 

the [] flashes, voices sing 

like angels from a secret dream 

and then as quickly as it came 

it fades into the cold, back into the cold 

with delicate and empty stars 

who whisper light without remorse 

and every shadow growing grey 

to stand below the moon 

a vision catches just a smile 

and lingers on her lips so warm 

before fading into the darkness 

a stranger past unknown

and on this drifting course through time 

beneath the limitless supply 

everyone who ever was will die (before their time) 

after all the moment's thrill 

where they're too naive to [] 

the mercy one was granted he should find 

in desperation she strikes a match 

fingers ablaze with fire and ash 

escape a heart in perfect world 

her eyes light up: the matchstick girl 

the [] crashes, voices sing 

angels embrace her in their wings 

and then as quickly as it came 

it fades into the cold 

she strikes another and here again 

a nova burns, a hero's flame 

against the heart in a perfect world 

her eyes light up: the matchstick girl 

where {there} are believers {there} are beliefs (?) 

a storybook however brief 

and then as quickly as it came 

it fades into the cold, back into the cold 

a silent prayer please god protect 

--- 

the fingers slip and find neglect 

--- 

what you remember no man forgets 

--- 

and for her suffering heaven wept 

--- 

in desperation she strikes the pack 

fingers alive with fire and ash 

a warmth redeems a fading world 

her eyes light up: the matchstick girl 

heaven breaks, no voices sing 

like angels in her secret dreams 

and nothing here will ever touch 

nor harm this little girl (the matchstick girl) 

and in the alley looking back 

fingers cold now stained and black 

the warmth departs a fading world 

her eyelids close, the matchstick girl 

the line breaks free this cruel space 

a knowing smile upon her face 

stained into the morning light 

frozen in the snow, matchstick girl is gone 

(the matchstick girl is gone)
