Red and Black

Red is for love, hell and fire
Black is for death, pain and desire

I bound myself in these colours
Daily they are my mask
They show the world how I feel
But this cannot last

Red is for love, hell and fire
Black is for death, pain and desire

Blood down my pale arms
It’s now my disguise
So I close my eyes tight
Hiding tears so you won’t realize

Red is for love, hell and fire
Black is for death, pain and desire

I save my self from ridicule
My hair covers my face
In my black world I walk
Through this shallow place

Red is for love, hell and fire
Black is for death, pain and desire
Red is so bold, like the blood on my face
Black is so pure, it’s become my escape
