Crimson and the Beast by Cordelia Cross Lyrics

Crimson and the Beast by Cordelia Cross
From the album The Wanderer

A dark and passionate tale of breaking free from oppression and embracing wild, untamed desire. Crimson and the Beast weaves a haunting story of transformation and rebellion against false truths.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
A gilded cage, a shadowed tower,
A life restrained, no will, no power.
"Beware the wolf," my mother’s decree,
"Stay in the light, where you’re safe and free."
But freedom was a lie, a chain in disguise,
A mask of love, hiding venomous eyes.
The forest called with its whispers untamed,
And in its depths, the beast remains.

[Pre-Chorus]
The path was dark, the wind was cold,
But my heart burned bright, defying the old.
A scent in the air, a low, growling tone,
A promise of flesh, of blood, of bone.

[Chorus]
Run, run, Little Red,
To the wolf where desires are fed.
Fangs and claws, passion untamed,
In his arms, I’ll never be the same.
The village lied, their truth is dead,
I’ll walk with the wolf, painted crimson red.

[Verse 2]
The wolf’s eyes burned with secrets untold,
A predator’s hunger, fierce and bold.
But his touch was tender, his words a flame,
A dangerous rhythm, a seductive game.
He showed me the lies of the world I’d known,
The chains of a life where I’d never grown.
“Your mother’s no savior, her heart is black,”
He offered the truth, and I gave it back.

[Pre-Chorus]
The village whispers were built on fear,
But his growl was music I longed to hear.
In his claws, I found release,
A hunted girl turned fierce and free.

[Chorus]
Run, run, Little Red,
To the wolf where desires are fed.
Fangs and claws, passion untamed,
In his arms, I’ll never be the same.
The village lied, their truth is dead,
I’ll walk with the wolf, painted crimson red.

[Bridge]
We burned the lies, we tore them apart,
The elders fell to a hunter’s heart.
My mother’s screams, her twisted throne,
Shattered beneath the seeds she’d sown.
The beast and I, a tempest of fire,
Fueling the rage of a shared desire.
No gods, no chains, no rules remain,
Together we’ll dance through blood and pain.

[Chorus]
Run, run, Little Red,
To the wolf where desires are fed.
Fangs and claws, passion untamed,
In his arms, I’ll never be the same.
The village lied, their truth is dead,
I’ll walk with the wolf, painted crimson red.

[Outro]
Now we reign, the forest our crown,
The hunted turned hunters, their kingdom brought down.
A girl and her wolf, a bond unbroken,
A tale of blood, of fire, and devotion.
Run, run, Little Red,
To the wolf where legends are bred.
Through ash and ruin, our legacy spread,
The beast and I, forever crimson red.
