  • You, you’re everything I want
    And I, I’m everything you need
    This night is cutting into me
    You tie me down, you watch me bleed
    And we risk everything tonight

    I, I am the misery you crave
    And you, you are my faithful enemy
    This hunger seems to feed on me
    A sacred sin, a dying breed
    And we risk everything

    They can never know just what we’ve done
    They can never know just what we’ve done
    They will never know all the blood we’ve shed
    The scarlet cross we bear until the bitter end
    And they, they can never know just what we’ve done

    Nothing good will come of this
    I’m screaming out with my last aching breath
    I’ll be yours until my dying day
    But I can never see you

    We, we knew how this would end
    And we knew we’d die before we lived
    But I’ll never let you go
    I’ll never let you go

    They will never know all the blood we shed
    The scarlet cross we bear until the bitter end
    And they, they can never know just what we’ve done
    I will never let you go
    They can never know just what we’ve done
    I will never let you go

    We knew how this would end Writer/s: John Christopher Howorth, Kevin Gregory Churko, Maria Diane Brink
