Crimson Deep

Tarja Turunen

Sometimes I see the pulse
Numb I feel, so unreal
Blood on my lips
I taste the heavy lead

What can I find
Behind the mirror
I’ll never know
Who’s the reflection within? 

Should I frame for you 
The other world?
Another world?
I’ve heard the voices of Elysium

The scent of a sudden wish
Never there
Everywhere
Read me the space in between 

Come to me
I cried
I need you
I am seeking
The gates unfold inside
My lost soul in the dark

Far beneath my breath
I’m burning at my core
Show me how
Let me see beyond
I will find my crimson deep

Sharp is the edge 
Of all discovery
Now I see
A scar without suffering, impossible

I’ll wait until my last day
With no shame
Who’s to blame?
Shaping the signs left for me

Come to me
I cried
I need you
I am seeking
The gates unfold inside
My lost soul in the dark

Far beneath my breath
I’m burning at my core
Show me how
Let me see beyond
I will find my crimson deep

Come to me
I cried
I need you
I am seeking
The gates unfold inside
My lost soul in the dark

Come to me
I cried
I feel you
I am seeking
The gates unfold inside
My lost soul in the dark
