lyrics

BLOOD RED(Shirk)
Speak in tongues and sing a love song
To the Light Bringer
All around us we can barely see ourselves
In the light that is only growing dimmer
Hear the words as they tumble out our mouths

There is a war, a wall between us
Outside overhead, a full moon beaming in
Blood Red

Speak in tongues and sing a love song
To the Light Bringer
Dance in circles in black robes dressed like owls
Lines in salt that are only growing thinner
In the quietest room inside the house

There is a war, a wall between us
Outside overhead, a full moon beaming in
Blood Red

(When the night, the night is shining thru
I'll be out there walking
Walking in the moon light
When the night, the night is shining thru
I'll be out there walking
Walking next to you)
