I wake in the morning
I raise my head
I look in the mirror
And the crimson beast appear

God knows I'm a sinner
Who loves to sin
And the devil knows
Got the crimson beast within

The ravens circle around
Up in the sky
Don't let them come down
Where the crimson beast resides

Turn my face to the god
They taught me to love
Provoked the holy scriptures
For the crimson beast to shove

I danced with the devil
I cut my arms
Took the fiddle and the drum
The night the crimson beast us charms

The rules made of stone
I traded for gold
And the seven sins
Gave the crimson beast my soul

Father son and the holy ghost
But the crimson beast the one I chose
Mother mary cry tears of blood
The crimson beast is my god
