Black Veil Brides are gearing up to release The Phantom Tomorrow in 2021, and wanted to give fans a little sneak peak of what to expect, with their new single, "Scarlet Cross."
“We are incredibly excited to share not only this new song ‘Scarlet Cross,’ but also our vision for the world of [upcoming new album] ‘The Phantom Tomorrow’ and its characters. We are in the final stages of writing for this record and have begun work on our forthcoming ‘The Phantom Tomorrow’ graphic novel. We intend to continue to share elements of the story in the coming months and can’t wait for everyone to see what we have been working on!”
Here are the lyrics:
My mind remains my pain
I'm tied down to this chain
It spirals as I ache
To find holy embrace
Stay here with me, I'm afraid of my soul
Blackened and left in control
Cannot be free and you can't deny
The end is coming
Will we live?
When we die?
Just keep on saving our goodbyes
The fear and the cost
The world will stain us with a scarlet cross
A symbol for my shame
The color of your name.
It's how they see you break
And live with my mistakes.
Sin for me, cast away from it all
Watching every letter fall
Hold onto me, I can't let go
The End is coming
