The sky tonight bleeds red

I don't know why

I keep looking for answers

In shadows and the darkness

That surround me

At any moment that I turn around

I see

Crimson hues seep into the walls

Colouring everything on its way

All sinful and alluring

Making me forget about everything that makes me happy

I look at the road ahead

It seems to have been painted scarlet

Feeling sudden cool chills I look around

And realize that

It's not just the road

But the trees as well

It all looks like a murder scene

That has been orchestrated

Just for me

To let me know

The night is far from over

The bloody light

That shines in the clouds

The bloody light

That's keeping me around

Awake in the streets

Prowling and hunting for creatures

That I hope don't exist

Outside of my dreams
