Kiss of Death

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sasha got that kiss of death
Velvet lips and a blade on her breath
Royal bloodline, cursed in gold
First husband fell when the truth got told

She hide in silk, but she hunt in heat
Save battered women off the backstreet
Mask off when the moon come out
Angel in the dark with a hunted vow

He was next on the list she kept
Betrothed to a fate she never slept with
Finger on the trigger, heart on ice
Then she met his eyes and it broke her knife

Pre-Chorus
She leaned in close, said, "This is the end"
But his hands stayed calm, like he already knew then
He touched her wrist, said, "I know that scar"
"And I know what they made you, so here we are"

Chorus
Kiss of death, kiss of death
Why you still here on my breath?
Kiss of death, kiss of death
You ain't fall down like the rest

My secret's yours, your secret's mine
We burn the curse and cross the line
Kiss of death, kiss of death
You pulled me back from the edge

Verse 2
He knew her mask, knew the nights she bled
Knew the women she hid when the bruises spread
Knew the names in the family stone
Knew the way she walked like she lived alone

He said, "Baby, I see all the war in you
I see the saint that the pain went through"
No fear in his voice, just a steady flame
Like he loved the shadow and said her name

So she test that kiss, soft and slow
Expecting a fall, expecting snow
But he smiled like doom was just a door
And he pulled her close like he wanted more

Pre-Chorus
She thought she'd die with the touch of her lips
Instead he held her like he wanted this
He said, "I know your fire, I know your sin"
"And I know the place where your life begins"

Chorus
Kiss of death, kiss of death
Why you still here on my breath?
Kiss of death, kiss of death
You ain't fall down like the rest

My secret's yours, your secret's mine
We burn the curse and cross the line
Kiss of death, kiss of death
You pulled me back from the edge

Bridge
If the crown want blood, let the crown come see
I got a man who can bleed with me
And every woman they tried to break
Got a safe place now at my gate

He kissed the poison off my mouth
Said, "You don't have to do this now"
No more burial, no more lies
Just two ghosts with fire in their eyes

Final Chorus
Kiss of death, kiss of death
Why you still here on my breath?
Kiss of death, kiss of death
You ain't fall down like the rest

My secret's yours, your secret's mine
We burn the curse and cross the line
Kiss of death, kiss of death
You loved me harder than the threat

Kiss of death, kiss of death
Now the hunted don't feel death
