Crimson Chain

**[Verse 1]** At the break of Sunday dawn, By the roadside, nearly gone. Dark blood pooled beneath your side; You had lost the strength to rise. You could not even open your eyes, I took you home before sunrise. When every breath was running low, I gave my blood so yours could flow. **[Chorus]** Stay with me, don’t walk away— My blood is why you’re here today. How could you leave me here again? How could you break this crimson chain? Stay with me, don’t walk away— My blood is why you’re here today. How could you leave me here again? How could you break this crimson chain? **[Verse 2]** Then one day you chose to run, But I would never let you go. You disappeared before the sun— Still, I found you in the snow. You tried to pay to be set free, As if my love could have a fee. But my blood keeps you bound to me— No blade can cut you free from me. **[Chorus]** Stay with me, don’t walk away— My blood is why you’re here today. How could you leave me here again? How could you break this crimson chain? Stay with me, don’t walk away— My blood is why you’re here today. How could you leave me here again? How could you break this crimson chain? **[Bridge]** At last you seemed too weak to run, Too tired to keep escaping me. But on the mirror, one by one, You wrote in blood: “You’ll set me free.” You wished I’d left you there for dead, Before my blood had made you whole. You took the life my body bled, But never gave me back your soul. **[Final Chorus]** Not the first and not the last To be trapped in my obsession. Still, I know your fear will pass— You’ll call me yours in your confession. Not the first and not the last To be trapped in my obsession. Still, I know your fear will pass— You’ll call me yours in your confession.
