Iron Chains and Velvet Lies

[Verse 1]
Her boots clicked on the wooden floor,
A shadow stretched behind the door.
A whisper cold, a velvet sound,
Like thunder rolling underground.

[Chorus]
Iron chains and velvet lies,
She holds your heart, she blinds your eyes.
No escape, no alibis,
From her iron chains and velvet lies.

[Verse 2]
She paints the night in crimson hues,
A sinner's game, you’re bound to lose.
Her laughter’s sharp, it cuts like steel,
A promise made, a devil’s deal.

[Prechorus]
You thought you’d play, but now you kneel,
Under her heel, under her heel.

[Chorus]
Iron chains and velvet lies,
She holds your heart, she blinds your eyes.
No escape, no alibis,
From her iron chains and velvet lies.

[Bridge]
The whiskey burns, but not as deep,
As scars she leaves when she’s complete.
You tell yourself it’s just a dream,
But her shadow’s there in every beam.
