The Painted Smile - Aetheria Mourn (Official Music Video)

Lyric: The streetlights bleed gold on the faces of the lost. They're all selling a dream they can't afford, A hollow laughter fills the air. They tell me to be happy, to pretend the chains aren't there. I see through the glass, through the perfect lie they built. It's a beautiful house of cards, waiting for the wind to blow. They wear their faith like a fashion, their empathy a fleeting pose. They've traded their souls for a polished tombstone. I don't belong in this masquerade of grace. I am the truth they buried, a whisper in this empty place. The promises echo, thin and made of smoke. They promised heaven, but all I feel is the ache in my bones. I watch them dance on graves they dug themselves, Forgetting all the darkness they pretend to hide. I see through the glass, through the perfect lie they built. It's a beautiful house of cards, waiting for the wind to blow. They wear their faith like a fashion, their empathy a fleeting pose. They've traded their souls for a polished tombstone. I don't belong in this masquerade of grace. I am the truth they buried, a whisper in this empty place. You built your empire on a bed of fragile glass. And you wonder why the floor keeps cracking. Your gods are made of paper, your saints are made of stone, And you stand alone in a palace of lies. They wear their faith like a fashion, their empathy a fleeting pose. They've traded their souls for a polished tombstone. I don't belong in this masquerade of grace. I am the truth they buried, a whisper in this empty place. #gothicmetal #darkmusic #femalefrontedmetal #symphonicmetal #darkmusic
