Color me red
for the blood
that sings in my veins

Scarlet for danger
for passion, for pain
Crimson in anger
that shatters and maims
Warm glowing wine
for the lust that remains
Cold dying embers
in fresh summer rains
deepen to black
of a time shadowed name

Long and long
I've been snared in your game
Now its over
and nothing's the same
You dealt me
a death blow again
I won't pay the price
by going insane
Though you cut me
I won't feel the pain

Color me red
for the blood
that sings in my veins
