Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So many reasons why one should never
Entertain the taste of the red
A cry for a life of innocence escapes her
(So repent!)
And go running back to kill because it might make it easier
(It’s the scent!)
Of fear that keeps you chained down to the ritual, adhere
You’re a slave born into a dark world of deceit (Of deceit!)
A slave that’s longing for a retreat
[Chorus]
Learning to love a disaster
Direct your soul in the essence of hate
To draw the blood of the master, flee
The stains on your wings now carry the free
[Verse 2]
Selfishly embrace the glory vengeance brings
Hold courage tight
Illuminate the night
(Punishment! Punishment!)
An eye for an eye, a knife to the wicked
Just the sight of the organization burning to ashes
Could put a smile on her face (Her face!)
The torture ends within this wretched place

The stains on your wings now carry the

Golden seal extracted from the omen’s life
One steady hand in victory
Darkness weeps as love enfolds under a pure and crescent night
Born from the eye into the light
[Bridge]
So many reasons why one should never
Entertain the taste of scarlet (Scarlet)

So many reasons why one should never
Entertain the taste of the red
A cry for a life of innocence escapes her

Learning to love a disaster
Direct your soul in the essence of hate
To draw the blood of the master, flee
The stains on your wings now carry the free
