Scarlet Cross

My mind remains my pain
I’m tied down to this chain
It spirals as I ache
To find holy embrace

Stay here with me, I'm afraid of my soul
Blackened and left in control
Cannot be free and you can't deny
The end is coming

Will we live? When we die?
Just keep on saving our goodbyes
The fear and the cost
The world will stain us with a scarlet cross

A symbol for my shame
The color of your name
It’s how they see you break
And live with my mistakes
