Track 03 · The Wandering Begins

Crimson Years

The immortal begins to understand that every age repeats the same losses.

Lyrics Manuscript

[Verse 1] Dust on the chapel glass Moon like a Hunter’s mark Old prayers hang in the rafters I listen But they never talk back Faces flicker and fade Names fall apart in my hands Centuries stacked in the shadows I count them like grains of sand

[Chorus] I drink the night But starve for meaning Crimson years that never end Immortal heart Forever bleeding Everyone I touch Turns into a ghost again Alone in the dark With a life that never ends

[Verse 2] Laughter in tavern smoke Turned into neon haze Different costumes Same stories They promise forever Then age I stand where the roads all meet Invisible Sharp as a stake Your heartbeat drums in the distance I step back for your own sake

[Chorus] I drink the night But starve for meaning Crimson years that never end Immortal heart Forever bleeding Everyone I touch Turns into a ghost again Alone in the dark With a life that never ends

[Bridge] How many winters Can bury one soul How many lovers Can I watch grow old I’m tired of the hunger Tired of this skin Trade every sunrise I’ll ever see For one honest ending

[Chorus] I drink the night But starve for meaning Crimson years that never end Immortal heart Forever bleeding Everyone I touch Turns into a ghost again Alone in the dark With a life that never ends
