[Intro – Spoken softly over strings] They said the sky would never fall... But oh, how it shimmered that day... crimson as love, and twice as deadly. --- [Verse 1] When the clouds turned crimson, darling, You were still holding my hand, We laughed as the sirens whispered, Like a half-forgotten band. The city lights all flickered, Then melted into flame, And though the world was ending, dear, You still said my name. --- [Chorus] Ooh, that crimson glow, How softly it did show, That even in the ashes, Love’s the last thing we’ll let go. So hold me close, my darling, As the world fades to gray, We’ll dance through the fallout, Till it all drifts away. --- [Verse 2] The radios fell silent, But your heart kept perfect time, The record spun a lullaby, In three-quarter rhyme. The air was thick with memory, And dreams we couldn’t save, But I’d face that fire forever, For one more dance you gave. --- [Chorus – reprise] Ooh, that crimson glow, Still warms me down below, Though the stars all fell around us, And nothing seemed to grow. I’ll find you when the dust clears, Where the bright ones lay, We’ll waltz through the wasteland, Till it all drifts away. --- [Outro – Spoken, fading with static] If love can survive the end of the world... then maybe... so can we.
