[Verse 1]
Am                    F
- My mind remains my pain

     Dm                Am
I'm tied down to this chain

    Am           F
It spirals as I ache

    G           Am
To find holy embrace

 Am                             F
Stay with me, I'm afraid of my soul

               Dm              Am
Blackened and then left in control

           Am                 F
Cannot be free and you can't deny

     G            C                D
The end is coming - the end is coming
[Chorus]
         Am            F
Will we live? Will we die?

      G
Just keep on saving our goodbyes

     Am           F
The fear and the cost

     G                   D              Am
The world will stain us with a scarlet cross
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Am                 F
- A symbol for my shame

    Dm             Am
The color of your name

                       F
It's how they see you break

     G               Am
And live with my mistakes

                               F
Sin for me, cast away from it all

         Dm            Am
Watching every letter fall

          Am                  F
Hold onto me, and I can't let go

     G            C                D
The end is coming - thе end is coming
[Chorus]
         Am            F
Will we live? Will we die?

      G
Just keep on saving our goodbyes

     Am           F
The fear and the cost

     G                   D              Am
The world will stain us with a scarlet cross
[Post-Chorus]
     Am           F
The fear and the cost

     G                   D              Am
The world will stain us with a scarlet cross
[Chorus]
         Am            F
Will we live? Will we die?

      G
Just keep on saving our goodbyes

     Am           F
The fear and the cost

     G                   D              Am
The world will stain us with a scarlet cross
[Post-Chorus]
     Am           F
The fear and the cost

     G
The world will stain us

 D              Am    F G
With a scarlet cross
[Outro]
 D              Am    F G
With a scarlet cross

 D              Am
With a scarlet cross
