the world is Red around me
with sorrow in the Skies

the world is Red around me
with Falseness in our pride

step back into a deserted world
see that all we’ve Known is gone
stop staring at an empty Hole in our lives
said stop staring so sorrow stays

the world is Red around me
with Death ringing forth on high

the world is Red around me
with yearning towards all that Dies

stand here looking at a Silent world
see that all we’ve Known is gone
sell happiness to have truth in our Lives
said stop staring so sorrow stays
