alone yet standing tall
you see my battered flag fly
against it all

alone and terrified
I’m calling out for hope
with one last battle cry

always flown too close to conflict
never knew how how it’d burn
to make the skin of a warrior

when you watch me
from afar
from afar

Crimson it dwells in me
Bleeding silently through hallowed war
Frail prophecies
Lost divinity
Don’t look back this time
Warrior

Forget this shallow reverie
Forever gone
Gently
Oh gently
It all returns

Heavy
it’s all so heavy
Help me unearth

I bow my crown less head
War after war

Crimson war
From afar

Born of what you wanted
Never bound to the tide

Crimson
It dwells in me
Bleeding silently

Unless you’re bulletproof
Nowhere’s sanctuary
No one fights for you

Now it’s begun
Forever numb
Don’t look back this time
