covered the carcass of time with flowers

 to send the scent of blame to the grave

fast, then

set the darkest thoughts on fire

 and watched the ashes climb to heavens gates

up to G then chorus

(Chorus)

we hide behind the crimson door

 while the summers killed by the fall

alive behind the crimson door

 while the winter sings

 your love will be the death of me

(Verse 2)

Death served wine for lovers

Brought up from the world where devils reign

fast, then

And intoxicated angels with sorrow

 As they witnessed in the eyes of their slaves

up to G then chorus

(Chorus)

we hide behind the crimson door

 while the summers killed by the fall

alive behind the crimson door

 while the winter sings

 your love will be the death of me

We hide behind the crimson door
