[verse1 male lead vocal 1] *(Low, reverberating cello with a slow, heavy drum beat)* In the quiet dark where I couldn't see, How many scars did you carve just to set yourself free? All those silent cries written on your skin, Did you think breaking down would erase where I’ve been? [Verse 2 - male Lead Vocal 2] *(Ethereal synth and dark piano, cool and dangerously calm)* I wore a smiling mask to hide inside the shade, Used the sharpest pain just to dull the masquerade. Until you tore through the cold with your burning touch, Setting fire to the void I had loved too much. [Pre-Chorus - Duet] *(Deep bass drop, rhythmic pulse building tension)* (Vocal 2)Don't drag me to the light, that's not where I belong... (Vocal 1)Then I’ll drown in your abyss, where we both can be strong. (Both) If the world casts a shadow on what we’ve become, Let your kiss be the lock till our souls bleed as one. [Chorus - Duet] *(Full explosion of cinematic strings, heavy rock drums, and dark vocal harmonies)* This is our **Crimson Contract**, written in the dark! No need for salvation, no heaven to mark. Your scars are my armor, your name is my creed, If we fall into darkness, it’s the only truth we need! I will swallow all your pain, and drown in your spark! [Bridge - Duet] *(Music drops out completely, leaving only a heavy heart-beat rhythm and low breathing) (Vocal 1):Listen to me. Every mark on your body belongs to me now. (Vocal 2): Then lock me tight, and never let me slip back into the shade. [Chorus - Duet] *(Climactic return of the heavy instrumental)* This is our **Crimson Contract**, written in the dark! No need for salvation, no heaven to mark. Your scars are my armor, your name is my creed, If we fall into darkness, it’s the only truth we need! [Outro - Duet] *(Fading piano and haunting acoustic guitar)* No redemption, no goodbyes. Dancing on the ashes where the dark lies. **(Vocal 1):** You’re mine. **(Vocal 2):** I’m yours. Crimson Contract... until the end of time.
