lyrics

I come drenched in red, my fingers are numb
I'm blinded by sight, Don't know where I'm from
This crown on my head, while tears fall like rain
Don't know wrong from right, but can sense their pain

When I first appeared, they cried and fell down, the first time that they had seen my eyes
As my time drew near, they waited for my crown, the inception of future goodbyes

I'm bathed in white cloth, yet naked inside
Her blood doesn't taint, but also is mine
The feeling of loss, it touches my core
Beloved as a saint, an undeserved lore

When I first appeared, they cried and fell down, the first time that they had seen my eyes
As my time drew near, they waited for my crown, the inception of future goodbyes

This life that we share, is euphoric pain
It's drowned by my voice, they call out my name
I'm breathing their air, now for the first time
It wasn't my choice, that their world is mine
