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
