(Intro-Heavy Guitar Riff) (Verse 1) Beneath the cold and silver moon, your eyes begin to shine A single touch, and pain ignites like fire through my spine You're like a rose from heaven's gate, so crimson and divine But when I hold you close to me, your thorns cut deep inside (Pre-Chorus) Though I know I shouldn’t fall, I can’t escape This temptation, this forbidden ache (Chorus) Scarlet thorn, you pierce my soul Bleeding love, I lose control Even as your thorns draw crimson from my skin I feel a bliss no purity could ever win Let me fall, let me drown in your flame I crave only you, even wrapped in pain (Guitar Solo) (Verse 2) The warmth of you still lingers where our fingers intertwined Your fleeting grace, so delicate — a sin I can’t define I wish that time would freeze for us, and never move again But cruel hands of the clock keep turning all the same (Pre-Chorus) Let it break, let it all decay If I can kiss you once, I’d give it all away (Chorus) Scarlet thorn, you pierce my soul Bleeding love, I lose control Even as your thorns draw crimson from my skin I feel a bliss no purity could ever win Dance with me into the dark abyss If it’s with you, I’d gladly fall like this (Guitar Solo) (Bridge) Like petals drifting softly down, you'll fall one day But I will follow — even if we fade away Let me hold your fleeting grace, and as we die I’ll find my joy in falling by your side (Final Chorus) Scarlet thorn, you pierce my soul Bleeding love, I lose control Even if it costs the last breath that I own I’ve seen true love in the pain you’ve shown Let me fall, let me drown in your flame Even the end feels beautiful with your name Forever in your scarlet pain I’ll love you through the sweet decay
