*(Melodic intro — clean guitars, distant thunder)*
I walk through halls of hollow saints
Painted smiles and rusted chains
They bow to shadows, fear the flame
Too blind to ever speak my name
You built your world on shades of gray
A lifeless march, decay disguised as faith
But I was born beneath the storm
A scarlet omen you cannot erase
*(Breakdown builds)*
I AM THE COLOR RED
IN A WORLD OF BLACK AND WHITE
THE BLOOD INSIDE YOUR VEINS
THE FIRE IN THE NIGHT
I AM THE VOICE YOU DROWNED
THE TRUTH YOU CAN’T DENY
A HEART STILL BEATING LOUD
WHILE YOUR EMPIRES DIE
*(Heavy riff)*
You crucify the different soul
Then worship ashes when they’re gone
You fear the ones who stand alone
Because they make your weakness known
I wear the pain like battle scars
Every wound became a star
And every demon at my side
Reminds me I survived the dark
*(Pre-chorus — rising tension)*
You wanted silence
You got a war
You built the cage
I became more
*(Chorus)*
I AM THE COLOR RED
IN A WORLD OF BLACK AND WHITE
THE CHAOS IN YOUR PEACE
THE REASON YOU CAN’T HIDE
I AM THE FINAL BREATH
THE LAST UNBROKEN LIGHT
IF I BURN ALONE
AT LEAST I BURN ALIVE
*(Bridge — eerie clean vocals into scream)*
They called me monster…
So I became the storm…
Now every step I take
Leaves ashes on your throne
*(Massive breakdown)*
BLACK!
WHITE!
YOU SEE IN CHAINS — I SEE IN LIFE!
RED!
RED!
THE ONLY FUCKING COLOR LEFT INSIDE!
*(Final chorus)*
I AM THE COLOR RED
IN A WORLD THAT’S GONE COLD
A dying sun that still refuses
To let go
And when the sky collapses
And the saints all fade away
You will remember my name
In the crimson rain
*(Outro — slow, haunting)*
Black and white fades…
But red remains…
