Red is the rose, sickly sweet.
Red is the man who steals souls.
Red is Hell, smoldering, burning,
Red is fire that destroys lives, crimes, relationships, and trust.
Red is the American flag,
Standing for freedom, justice, and liberty.
Red are the eyes of the demons,
That pulls me under in my dreams.
Red is the blood that sheds to feel
Lost, unaware, and free.
Red is the moon of the coming Messiah.
