Lyrics
[Verse]
I’ve seen smoke and mirrors on a cheap café stage,
Saw promises vanish like ink on the page,
But when your hand touched mine, the world rearranged,
That spark in the dark—too wild to be staged.
[Verse]
I’ve chased fortune tellers with eyes made of glass,
Paid silver for secrets that slipped through so fast,
But nothing they whispered could ever outlast,
The truth of your laugh, it burned through the past.
[Pre-Chorus]
Isn’t it strange how the truth can ignite,
When nothing but shadows are left in the night
[Chorus]
This is magic you can’t fake,
It’s fire in the flood, the storm in the quake,
The sound of a heart that refuses to break,
The spell in your kiss that burns like holy stake.
IT’S A SONG IN YOUR BLOOD, NO ONE CAN TAKE
[Verse]
The neon was buzzing, the jukebox was weak,
The floorboards were groaning, the rafters would creak,
But something was glowing that words couldn’t speak,
A spell without candles, both ragged and sleek.
[Verse]
The cards and the crystals, the tarot, the runes,
They fade with the daylight, dissolve with the moons,
But one kiss from you makes the night change its tune,
A thunder that rolls without warning at noon.
[Verse]
I once thought of magic as sleight of the hand,
A trick for the lonely, a show for the bland,
But you turned my heartbeat into a marching band,
No trickster alive could have ever planned.
[Pre-Chorus]
Have you ever felt something real in your veins,
That no slight-of-hand could ever explain
[Chorus]
This is magic you can’t fake,
It’s fire in the flood, the storm in the quake,
The sound of a heart that refuses to break,
The spell in your kiss that burns like holy stake.
IT’S A SONG IN YOUR BLOOD, NO ONE CAN TAKE
[Verse]
You’re not pulling rabbits from hats made of silk,
Your power runs deeper than honey or milk,
It shakes through my marrow, it flows as I drink,
A miracle rawer than prophets could ink.
[Verse]
The lights in the barroom went out for a beat,
But we kept on dancing with fire in our feet,
A hush fell around us, the silence complete,
That magic was real—no illusion could cheat.
[Verse]
I tried to deny it, I swore it away,
But secrets like this never die or decay,
They crack through the concrete, they bloom through the clay,
The harder I fight, the louder they say—
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you believe in a force you can’t stage,
That tears through the script and rips out the page
[Chorus]
This is magic you can’t fake,
It’s fire in the flood, the storm in the quake,
The sound of a heart that refuses to break,
The spell in your kiss that burns like holy stake.
IT’S A SONG IN YOUR BLOOD, NO ONE CAN TAKE
[Bridge]
No curtain call, no hidden wires,
No trick of smoke, no bought desires,
The world may doubt, but I can’t feign,
The spell of love that floods my veins.
[Verse 9]
This isn’t a trick that was practiced or sold,
It isn’t rehearsed, and it won’t turn to cold,
It’s molten and messy, it cannot be told,
It’s lightning alive, refusing the mold.
[Verse 10]
I stumbled through fortune, I wandered through fate,
I thought I was early, but found I was late,
The door that you opened rewrote every gate,
Your love is the spell no magician can fake.
[Pre-Chorus]
When the crowd is silent and the trick lights are gone,
Who’s left but the magic that carries us on
[Chorus]
This is magic you can’t fake,
It’s fire in the flood, the storm in the quake,
The sound of a heart that refuses to break,
The spell in your kiss that burns like holy stake.
IT’S A SONG IN YOUR BLOOD, NO ONE CAN TAKE
[Verse11]
It lingers in echoes, it hides in the rain,
It hums through the sorrow, it dances with pain,
It laughs at the doubters who curse it in vain,
It sings through my soul like a runaway train.
[Verse 12]
So let them keep talking of tricks they can make,
Of mirrors, disguises, of roles they can fake,
I’ll stand in the wildfire your presence awakes,
This magic is ours—too fierce to forsake.
[Pre-Chorus]
Have you seen in a moment, a look, or a breath,
A power that laughs in the face of death
[Chorus]
This is magic you can’t fake,
It’s fire in the flood, the storm in the quake,
The sound of a heart that refuses to break,
The spell in your kiss that burns like holy stake.
IT’S A SONG IN YOUR BLOOD, NO ONE CAN TAKE
[Outro]
So let the charlatans scatter and ache,
This is the real thing—magic you can’t fake.
