[verse 1) There’s a shadow on the skyline, And the smoke tastes sweet tonight, Every promise burns like perfume, In the glow of the city light. He said, “Trust me, love’s a weapon.” I said, “Darling, so am I.” Now the bullets dance like diamonds, In the corners of my eye. [Chorus] This is the crimson hour Where love and danger meet. The kiss becomes the fire, The truth beneath deceit. I’ll walk through smoke and silver, With nothing left to lose… In the crimson hour, The world’s the fuse. [Verse 2 ] He moves like faith in velvet, A ghost in tailored sin, I knew the game before it started— And still, I let him in. [Bridge] Time bends, the lights fall down, Names fade, but I wear the crown. One breath, one spark, one final lie— To live, you’ve got to die. [Final Chorus] This is the crimson hour— The storm before the dawn. Love’s the loaded power, The line we stand upon. I’ll burn the night behind me, And rise from every bruise… In the crimson hour, I light the fuse. (Orchestra swells, brass blast, final sustained high note on “fuse”)
