Em                                 G
Covered the carcass of time with flowers
    C                  G            F
To send the scent of blame to the grave
Em                       G
Set the darkest thoughts on fire
     C                  G               F
And watched the ashes climb to heavens gates

Chorus:
Am         C                G
We hide behind the crimson door
           Dm                    Am
While the summers killed by the fall
Am      C                 G
alive behind the crimson door
           Dm
While the winter sings
      F         G           Am
Your love will be the death of me
      F         G           Am
Your love will be the death of me

Death served wine for lovers
Brought from the world where devils reign
And intoxicated angels with sorrow
They witnessed in the eyes of their slaves

Chorus - x2

We hide behind the crimson door
We hide behind the crimson door
We hide behind the crimson door
We hide behind the crimson door
