[Verse 1]
I walk in red
With a calm face on
Got a black-card grin
And a cold hand gloved
You want my time
I make it stretch
I give too much
Then I take back less
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name slow
Feel that chill
I come too close
And I always will
[Chorus]
Wear the red, wear the red
Let it stain your breath
Wear the red, wear the red
Dance with death, dance with death
(wear the red)
(we'll be gone by dawn)
[Verse 2]
I leave sweet scars
On a porcelain soul
You laugh too loud
Then you lose control
I’m generous
With the poison first
I pour the glass
And I let it work
[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name slow
Feel that chill
I come too close
And I always will
[Chorus]
Wear the red, wear the red
Let it stain your breath
Wear the red, wear the red
Dance with death, dance with death
(wear the red)
(we'll be gone by dawn)
[Bridge]
If you touch that flame
You’ll learn my law
I can look like grace
Then I crack your jaw
Hold your pretty crown
I don’t need gold
I was born in red
And I move like cold
[Final Chorus]
Wear the red, wear the red
Let it stain your breath
Wear the red, wear the red
Dance with death, dance with death
Wear the red, wear the red
I don’t owe you rest
Wear the red, wear the red
Kiss the edge, confess
(wear the red)
(dance with death)
