Bloodbath

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Candlelight in the cellar cold

I count the years I have not grown old

They come to me when the harvest fails

And I keep them here where the stone is pale

Pre-Chorus

Blood is the price of a beauty that never dies

Blood is the answer to every prayer I never cried

No mirror tells me what the morning brings

I only hear the humming of darker things

Chorus

Bloodbath

Pour the crimson, let it run

Bloodbath

Every daughter, every son

Bloodbath

I was never meant to fade

So I take what the night has made

Verse 2

Iron rings on a locked door

Servants vanish and ask no more

A countess smiles at a frozen dawn

And the rumor spreads but the proof is gone

Pre-Chorus

I was married young to a name and a crown

I was buried deep but I climbed back out

They want a monster they can understand

I am only a woman who took a stand

Chorus

Bloodbath

Pour the crimson, let it run

Bloodbath

Every daughter, every son

Bloodbath

I was never meant to fade

So I take what the night has made

Bridge

Let the villagers sharpen their knives

Let the priests write down my crimes

I have outlived every honest prayer

And the cold still answers mine

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Bloodbath

Pour the crimson, let it run

Bloodbath

Every daughter, every son

Bloodbath

I was never meant to fade

So I take what the night has made

Chorus

Bloodbath

Say my name into the flame

Bloodbath

Let the century bear the blame

Bloodbath

I am not a ghost you keep

I am hunger that will not sleep

Outro

Sleep

I will not sleep

No I will not sleep
