A devils whisper to cure the fever drawn to purify
Come are you ready moving in for the kill
Bury your idols
Dwell and grieve
The spawn of a demons will open your eyes
You can never kill this perfect cure
Clear of the crimson sky
Fatal immense holds me
Bury your idols
Dwell and grieve the spawn of
The demon in you now hear us die
Come and gone your with me fatal demise breaks through
Die with you idols
But still believe your demon lies in you
Crawl inside open your eyes
It's a constant evolution of a dying breed
Consumed with death put to the test
It's only a solution clear of the crimson sky
It's never the same cold blooded panic
We live in vein
The lyrics to Thine Eyes Bleed's song "Crimson" depict a sense of horror and darkness looming in the sky, with a devil's whisper acting as a cure for the fever that draws out impurities. The lines "Bury your idols, dwell and grieve" suggest a call to abandon deeply held beliefs and face the reality of demonic influences. The spawn of a demon will open your eyes to the truth of the matter, and the perfect cure cannot be killed. The crimson sky and the constant evolution of a "dying breed" add to the somber tone of the lyrics.
The song seems to be a commentary on the corrupting influence of evil forces, and how they can penetrate and influence every aspect of one's life, including deeply held beliefs and values. The lyrics suggest a deep sense of despair and powerlessness in the face of such darkness, with perhaps a hint of resignation that it is an inevitability of life.
