The Scarlet Letter
Waking up to the soundless breeze
 Smelling the scent of loveless roses
 After my tranquil, slumberous sleep
 All I thought that I really know is 
 Vanished from insanity
 Banished from humanity
 Instantly
 
 You brought me a scarlet letter
 You said we'd always be together
 Forever and evermore
 I received a scarlet letter
 Edged with deceitful pleasure
 Written by a heart dissevered
 Forever and evermore
 
 My hands are beginning to shake
 From the distress in my perplexed mind
 I'm broken like an earthquake
 The clock's running out of precious time
 Could this be the prophecy? 
 Fate or our decisive destiny?
 Breaking instantly
 
 You brought me a scarlet letter
 You said we'd always be together
 Forever and evermore
 I received a scarlet letter
 Edged with deceitful pleasure
 Written by a heart dissevered
 Forever and evermore
 
 Holding your scarlet letter
 As my fingertips touch your signature
 Engraved in crimson blood
 Then I gaze up 
 Toward the passing eclipse on the sun
 Seventeen words cannot be undone
 My heartbeat is ripped and torn 
 Love's fabric has been too worn 
 
 You brought me a scarlet letter
 I know I should've known better
 Than to think we would be together
 Forever and evermore
 I received a scarlet letter
 Read and eagerly endeavored
 Enveloped by a soul who surrendered 
 Forever and evermore
 
 You brought me a scarlet letter
 You said we'd always be together
 Forever and evermore
 I received a scarlet letter
 Edged with deceitful pleasure
 Written by a heart dissevered
 Forever and evermore
