Each time that I knew I was in the right
Is now my phantom in the night
Us humans must all face our plight
What we don't save will come to reap our sin
Give me the blade and I'll begin
Cutting the endless loss within
Though dizzy, I began to walk
Chasing your scent among the rocks
Though shaken and confused, you laughed at me as we talked
You take a step and disappear
Through the border of night and fear
A sacrifice that I held so dear
Crimson, crimson again
For eternity
Staining my vision while you and I are torn apart
The cords are now ripped and thrown away
Every day's the same
For eternity
You'll swim through clouds so white, but will you ever stop your flight
For my torn wings to gain their light?
We'll take to the sky
We'll fly
How many more eyes will open once more
To see the sun beyond the door
That shows you once, then nevermore?
How many more wounds must I suffer still?
If love's a game that kindness kills,
I'll keep dragging myself uphill.
I wanted to catch up to you
Catch the person that I once knew
And with you by my side, I wanted to start anew
But you just run away from me
Through doors locked with nary a key
But I'll follow you even to the sea
And everything's in flames
And the ashes stain
The sins with red and those wounds that still remain on you
I've always wanted to take them away
Every day's the same
For eternity
I'll keep swimming on so I can see your wings again
So I can finally give my hand
And we'll search for land, we'll stand
I will keep living on for you
With wings that I have barely grew
A butterfly that still cannot fly
Crimson, crimson again
For eternity
Staining my vision while you and I are torn apart
The cords are now ripped and thrown away
And everything's in flames
And the ashes stain
The sins with red and those wounds that still remain on you
I've always wanted to take them away
Every day's the same
For eternity
You'll swim through clouds so white, but will you ever stop your flight
For my torn wings to gain their light?
We'll take to the sky
We'll fly
