My Lust is my Scarlet Sin

[Intro] They told me desire was weakness. They told me beauty was a weapon. Maybe they were right. BUT THEY NEVER ASKED WHO HELD THE BLADE. [Verse 1] I know the look behind your eyes, The second when you realize The girl you thought you understood Was never what she seemed. A halo hanging over horns, A saint that dances with the storm. A heart that burns too bright to hide The darkness underneath. I learned the ancient whispers, The language of the flame. The magic in a heartbeat, The power in a name. You call it temptation. You call it a curse. But tell me... Who decided what I was worth? [Pre-Chorus] I could be the sweetest dream You never want to wake from. I could be the nightmare That you can't escape from. The line between devotion And obsession starts to fade. So tell me... Would you love me? Or would you be afraid? [Chorus] Call me your scarlet sin, Watch the fire underneath my skin. I know the hunger in my veins, I know the pleasure and the pain. You want the angel, want the flame, You want the beauty without the blame. But if you look into my eyes... You'll see the monster I could become. [Verse 2] I could whisper and you'd listen. I could smile and you'd surrender. I could turn a room of strangers Into believers in a heartbeat. No sword. No spell. No battle cry. Just a promise And a look in my eyes. That's the part that scares me. Not the power. Not the desire. The fact that some part of me... Likes the fire. [Pre-Chorus] I could take everything I wanted. I could make the whole world bend. I could stop pretending I don't enjoy the attention. But every crown of roses Still has thorns beneath the red. And every goddess eventually Has to answer for what she did. [Chorus] Call me your scarlet sin, Watch the fire underneath my skin. I know the hunger in my veins, I know the pleasure and the pain. You want the angel, want the flame, You want the beauty without the blame. But if you look into my eyes... You'll see the monster I could become. [Bridge ] Would you still love me... If I stopped holding back? Would you still stand beside me... If I took everything I asked? I COULD MAKE KINGS FALL! I COULD MAKE SAINTS KNEEL! I COULD TAKE YOUR HEART! WITHOUT YOU KNOWING HOW IT FEELS! [Breakdown] I AM THE FLAME. I AM THE TEMPTATION. I AM THE CHOICE. NOT YOUR POSSESSION. I HOLD THE POWER. I HOLD THE CHAIN. I DECIDE... WHO I BECOME. [Final Chorus] Call me your scarlet sin, I won't hide what lives within. I know the darkness in my soul, I know the fire I control. I am the angel. I am the flame. I am the woman behind the name. And if you look into my eyes... You'll see exactly who I am. [Outro] Not a saint. Not a sinner. Not a dream. Not a nightmare. Just me.
