[Intro]
Ash in my teeth
Iron in my lungs
Boot prints in the mud
And the dead stay young
Slow march heartbeat
Drum in my skull
Name carved on a bullet
Pocket full of hulls
[Chorus]
I WALK THE CRIMSON WARPATH (hey!)
KNEE-DEEP IN BROKEN GODS
DROWNED IN GUNSMOKE
CHOKED ON PRAYERS
BATHED IN A THOUSAND SQUADS
TEAR THROUGH THE FLAME AND BACK
I AM THE BLOOD YOU SPILL
I WALK THE CRIMSON WARPATH
AND I’M STILL
I’M STILL
I’M STILL (scream!)
[Verse 1]
Barrel to my brow
Click
Just misfire
Laugh in the muzzle flash
Teeth made of wire
Thunder from the hillside
Friends turned sand
Dog tags rattling
Like a ghost in my hand
[Chorus]
I WALK THE CRIMSON WARPATH (yeah!)
KNEE-DEEP IN BROKEN GODS
DROWNED IN GUNSMOKE
CHOKED ON PRAYERS
BATHED IN A THOUSAND SQUADS
TEAR THROUGH THE FLAME AND BACK
I AM THE BLOOD YOU SPILL
I WALK THE CRIMSON WARPATH
AND I’M STILL
I’M STILL
I’M STILL
[Bridge]
[Tempo drops – massive breakdown riff]
Skin mask of mud
Rivers of rust
Skies raining shrapnel
Bones turning dust
You hear that roar?
That’s my heart in your throat
I died in the trenches
Now I’m here as the oath (ugh!)
[Chorus]
I WALK THE CRIMSON WARPATH
SCARRED EYES
BLACKENED SOUL
BURN THROUGH THE FEAR
THROUGH EVERY YEAR
TILL NOTHING’S IN CONTROL
TEAR THROUGH THE FLAME AND BACK
I AM THE BLOOD YOU SPILL
I WALK THE CRIMSON WARPATH
AND I’M STILL
I’M STILL—
[Outro]
(still here)
Low voice in the crater
Deep as the shell
War ends for the world
But I keep marching through hell
