LYRICS:
Here, we’re just stuck in the spotlight
We should make like shadows and disappear
Silhouettes in the sunset, our final curtain call is drawing near
If parting is such sweet sorrow, to hell with waiting for tomorrow
Hand in hand like we planned, as the night takes us away
And I hope when they find me and you in this tomb built for two
They get the glory for the end of our story, and take their fucking bows
So remember us, the soon dearly departed
And how the war our fathers started
Sealed the fate of star-crossed enemies
You and I both know that death won’t matter
Bring on the poison and the dagger
They set the stage for tragedy
Don’t scream, ‘cause the show must go on
Though our fairytale is ripping at the seams
But love doesn’t have to be something that we hide behind the scenes
If parting is such sweet sorrow, to hell with waiting for tomorrow
Side by side when we die, as the night takes us away
And I hope when they find me and you in this tomb built for two
They get the glory for the end of our story, and take their fucking bows
So remember us, the soon dearly departed
And how the war our fathers started
Sealed the fate of star-crossed enemies
You and I both know that death won’t matter
Bring on the poison and the dagger
They set the stage for tragedy

I love the screams, but having an INK song with purely clean vocals is refreshing.

[leahmoffitt]

I was getting into INK big time when my class was reading Romeo and Juliet and the teacher would always have a song playing as we walked in. Once I found this song I held onto it until the unit and actually got him to play it. Best day ever in that class.

[gabrielahemmings]

I wish there was a music video for this song it would be so beautiful

[Sabertooth]

Most... underrated Metalcore Band ever! Together with Jinjer :)

[TheForeverUndead]

This album is their most creative with their writing and this song is their best lyrically. Though all the other songs are written well this one lyrically stands out

[AmberGWoods]

this entire record is fucking phenomenal

[aaronsnyder]

these guys are so diverse in their music. listening to them makes me want to be a better musician myself. they just get better every album.

[ImperialCub]

I sang this song today in class as a karaoke challenge to me by the teacher. Nailed it 100%

[josephchavis]

Looking back at this song in particular. Listening to it rn in this very moment understanding everything single lyric. I just wanna say I sometimes can’t hold back the tears and be the tough person I wanna be and for a few minutes I’m more human than ever and I’m in touch with my humanity. This song touches my soul each and every time I hear it and imma let it make me cry a few more times so I can be stronger day to day. Ice nine kills and many other bands just like you saved my life. ✊✊✊✊

[Baphomet_]

Does anyone still even listen to this? I sure as hell do. It's still a banger for me.

[tiredcatlady]

I'm a little sad, that i just found out about them like few months ago...
i love this song it shares its first place on my top 5 songs of INK with funeral derangements :D

[josephm.]

I heard this before I read Romeo & Juliet
We recently read it in English and every once in a while I'd be like "Oh hey! That was in Star-Crossed Enemies!"
"Parting is such sweet sorrow" "Soon dearly departed" The curtain call is probably a reference to the fact that Romeo & Juliet is a play.

[DaltonHartgrove]

The feels in this album. Ice Nine Kills does not disappoint.

[nxyx]

Don’t scream, ‘cause the show must go on famous last word pop in my head for that split second XD

[eduardoperezveras]

I love how they can keep total coherence in their lyrics besides of the actual literal based lyrics.
Great Job Ice Nine Kills :3

[the.edgyhippie]

am I the only one who cried??? cause i love this beautiful play but this song just made it 13451034 times more beautiful

[pivarikejriwal]

Ohgod yes, I never realised the beginning sounds like Drown but why is that a big deal?? I love both bands, and its not like they're plagiarising music. The concept for this album is very original and new. I have so much respect for them.

[vulpesinculta]

"We should make like shadows and disappear"
I dont know how many times I repeated that part.

[federicadesantis]

the fact that this song is inspired by Romeo and Juliet make it just better than it is

[physco]

if you read the lyrics it is literally romeo and Juliet its really cool
