[Verse 1]
All things of love and beauty lost in clouds of fiery dust
Beneath the blood-red sky, the shifting sands will cover us
We drink the cup of secrets, dreaming of the afterlife
The sun begins its journey, taking us from day to night

[Pre-Chorus]
So where was God when I needed Him most?
What salvation is the Holy Ghost?
For what I've done, you can't blame me
I've lived across the centuries

[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
I wear my thorned crown
I know them all so well
So many opening doors to hell

[Verse 2]
I drink the cup of starlight, dreaming of the day to come
My fingers turn the pages of the Book of Life that's yet to come
My blood is thin, my body ache
To lie on Earth is still my fate
Eclipse will come to set me free
And for that moment, I can't wait

[Pre-Chorus]
Telling you now I will come again
With the knowledge from my secret room
Show me treasure with humankind
Drink of me, lose your mind

[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
I wear my thorned crown
I know them all so well
The many opening doors to hell
I made the earth unbound
Tears of desolation felt
Believe the tales I tell
The many opening doors to hell

[Bridge]
Our life will leave us with wounds
So we must
Human deceivers of your soul
Retrievers

[Chorus]
When the sun goes down
I wear my thorned crown
I know the world so well
The many opening doors to hell
I made the earth unbound
Tears of desolation found
Believe the tales I tell
The many opening doors to hell

[Outro]
The many opening doors to hell
The many opening doors to hell
