[Verse 1] I hear your name like a rusted blade The candles bend, then thin to smoke And every promise tastes like a grave You came to me with winter in your eyes I kept your sorrow hid with lies Pinned to my ribs, within my heart where darkness pulses [Pre-Chorus] If faith can fail, then let it break If blood can speak, let mine awake [Chorus] Crimson and steal (Through the hollow where the dead things hide) The old spell burns, my spirit frays (Hear the ancient chant and crack these chains) Crimson and steal Past the veil where the ruined angels lie If love is a wound, then let it stay Call my name and drag me through the gray [guitar solo] [Verse 2] I walked the miles of a sleepless field With your shadow, with black wings The sky went maroon like a wound And the wolves kept howling to the moon I found the answer within a break In a place where the gods used to stay You smiled like a saint with a golden crown And I bent my knee to the part I trust [Pre-Chorus] If faith can fail, then let it break If blood can speak, let mine awake [Chorus] Crimson and steal (Through the hollow where the dead things hide) The old spell burns, my spirit frays (Hear the ancient chant and crack these chains) Crimson and steal Past the veil where the ruined angels lie If love is a wound, then let it stay Call my name and drag me through the gray [Bridge] I don't want mercy if it keeps me blind I don't want heaven with a lock inside Give me the ache, give me the sign Give me the truth that I was made for If I fall, let me fall with you If I burn, let me burn for you Call my name and drag me through the gray! [Final Chorus] Crimson and steal (Through the hollow where the dead things hide) The old spell burns, my spirit frays (Hear the ancient chant and crack these chains) Crimson and steal Past the veil where the ruined angels lie If love is a wound, then let it stay Call my name and drag me through the gray [Outro] Call my name and drag me through the gray Till the dawn takes us away
