Blood Red Sky

Staring at the dark with hungry eyes

The moonlight flickered and a shadow cried

A gold ring flashed as the howling stopped

I called her name as the west wind dropped

I brushed her on the arm with a silver cane

Took her by the hand and saw her pain

My breath smelt like a burning house

With bitter cold words upon my mouth

A tall dark figure is on the loose

With bright sharp teeth to bite the truth

I’ll steal your honour and tell you lies

Leave you all alone in a blood red sky

Leave you all alone in a blood red sky

You’ll wake up late in the midday sun

Reach for a shadow and I’ll be gone

Through empty fields and storm blown trees

Praying to the night to set you free

Stained glass windows and shattered pain

A fairytale story and autumn rain

A falling shadow and a cold embrace

Cross your heart and you’ll see my face
