Scarlet Cross

[Intro]
C5 Ab5 Bb5 C5
F5

[Verse 1]
C5                   Ab5
  My mind remains my pain
    F5               G5   C5
I'm tied down to this  chain
                Ab5
It spirals as I ache
   Bb5
To find holy embrace
C5
  Stay here with me,
                 Ab5
I'm afraid of my soul
          F5             G5
Blackened and left in control
C5                               Ab5
  Cannot be free and you can't deny 
    Bb5          Ab5
The end is coming   (The end is coming)

[Chorus]
             C5        Ab5
Will we live?  When we die?
         Bb5
Just keep   on saving our goodbyes
F5    C5         Ab5
The fear and the cost
         Bb5                                  C5 F5
The world   will stain us with a scarlet cross

[Verse 2]
C5                Ab5
  A symbol for my shame
    F5           G5    C5
The color of your  name
                      Ab5
It's how they see you break
    Bb5
And live with my mistakes
C5                              Ab5
  Sin for me, cast away from it all
         F5          G5
Watching every letter  fall
C5                              Ab5
  Hold onto me, and I can't let go 
    Bb5          Ab5              F5
The end is coming   (The end is coming)

[Chorus]
             C5        Ab5
Will we live?  When we die?
         Bb5
Just keep   on saving our goodbyes
F5    C5         Ab5
The fear and the cost
         Bb5
The world   will stain us with a scarlet cross

[Post-Chorus]
C5 Ab5 Bb5 F5     Eb5 C5           Ab5
             With the fear and the cost
         Bb5
The world   will stain us with a scarlet cross
