[Intro] (Dark orchestral strings swell) (Low, haunting guitar notes) [Verse 1] I’ll drive you mad, I’ll make you blind The devil wakes within my mind A foolish crowd of mortal men He who loves me meets his end Enthralled and bound until he dies As nerves decay before his eyes And everything begins to fall The moment I appear to all [Chorus] His body falls upon the ground His heart is burning, hear the sound Drunk on a rose-colored dream so sweet Nowhere to run, you face defeat He who loves me meets his end Obsessed until the very end While the Crimson Ballad plays on... [Verse 2] I summon every stroke of fate Let the fires of hell create A point of no return for you In the warmth of skin, we’re passing through I want to spend the night with you To make the stars shine bright and true He who loves me meets his end Obsessed until the very end While the Crimson Ballad plays on... [Bridge] (Music intensifies - heavy strings or distorted synth) (Whispered voice: "No escape... nowhere to run...") Darkness rising, hellfire glowing The end is near, and you are knowing... [Chorus] His body falls upon the ground His heart is burning, hear the sound Drunk on a rose-colored dream so sweet Nowhere to run, you face defeat He who loves me meets his end Obsessed until the very end While the Crimson Ballad plays on... [Outro] I’ll drive you mad, I’ll make you blind The devil wakes... Everything begins to fall... (Slowly fade out) (Final guitar note echoes) [End]
