The Crimson

Official lyrics from cd booklet:

I feel it welling up inside And Robert Smith lied Boys do cry And with blood tears in my eyes I'm an Anne Rice novel come to life I can't hide the monster anymore One can only feel desolate for so long Until one starts to change Into something the mirror doesn't recognize I metamorphosize The darkness has been biding its time To claim its latest victim Fresh meat for carnal desires To become what I became I viewed the sun for the last time

Will you still hold me when you see what I have done? Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victim's blood? So crimson and red I feel it flowing from your lips My heart is dead and so are you

And it pulses through The desire to change To deconstruct all of my past failings But where to begin Because when you live in sin It's hard to look at saints Without them reflecting their jet black auras back on you And I have is hope My inner burn's not fading I'll wipe the blood from my cheek And get on with my day

And I have is hope And all I need is time To bury in pine under six feet of time The lies I told me about myself Claw my way out Pick the splinters from under my fingernails I won't lose hope I won't give in Just live and breathe And try not to die again

Quick notes: Robert Smith is the lead singer of the band "The Cure." One of their big hits was "Boys Don't Cry." Also, Anne Rice is an author who writes mostly of vampires. Her most recent notable novel was "Queen of the Damned" which was made into a feature film a few years ago.

My Notes: (What it could be saying) (What I think it's saying)

hardcore voice I feel it welling up inside and rough as they (die) or (thrive). Point to crying with the tears in my eyes. I've had it! I starve or come to life, I can't hide the monster. Anymore, what can? Won't they feel desolate for so long? Until, one starts to change into something, the mirror doesn't recognize. (Metamorphesis!) or (Metamorphasize!) The darkness turns been blinding inside. Dark clay that plays a specter, fresh meat, forgotten desire. To become what I became, I feel the sun falls on my time. /hardcore voice

chorus Will you still hold me, when you see what I have done. Will you still kiss me the same? When you taste my victim's blood. So crimson and red! I feel it flowing from your neck. Crimson and red. My heart is dead and so are you!! /chorus

hardcore voice When it pulls out slow the desire to change. The danger stuck, over my one of my past feelings. I'd light up again, because when you're at that time, time turns against me. What doesn't reflecting your jet black aura back at you? And, all I have is hope. My inner burns start fading. I wipe the blood from my cheek and get on with my day. /hardcore voice

chorus Will you still hold me, when you see what I have done? Will you still kiss me the same? When you taste my victim's blood. So crimson and red! I feel it flowing from your neck! Crimson and red. (My heart is dead!) All this for you?! (and so are you!) /chorus

non-hardcore voice & whispering And all I have is hope. (And, All I have is hope. is hope.) And all I need is time. (And, All I need is time. my time.) To bury a line under six feet of time. (To bury a line under six feet of time.) The lies I told me about myself. (The lies I told me about myself.) Carve my way out, (Carve a way out) pick the splinter from under my fingernails. (Pick the splinter from under my fingernails. My fingernails.) I won't lose hope. (Hope...) I won't give in. (I won't give in. Giving in.) /non-hardcore voice & no whispering

dual vocals Just live and breathe. (Just live and breathe!) Try not to die again. (Try not to die again.) Just live and breathe. (Just live and breathe!) Try not to die again. (Try not to die again.) Just live and breathe. (Just live and breathe!) Try not to die a... gain! (Try not to die a... gain!) I try not to die again! /dual vocals

chorus Will you still hold me, when you see what I have done? Will you still kiss me the same? When you taste my victim's blood. so crimson and red! I feel it flowing from your neck! Crimson and red. My heart is dead and so are you!!! /chorus

It's a sequel to A Vampire's Lament. He makes a ton of references to it. Like the whole Saint thing. And "All the lies I told me about myself" is reffering to him telling himself all these things..like "The fear of romance, the pain of living, the joy of sorrow, the strength in not forgiving" and telling himself that it'd all be fine = \
