Red Sky At Night

In the dawn the shepherd awakens
To the cries of the innocent lambs
The burden of duty weighs heavy
What once was a love has now become damned

A shrine to an angel he keeps by his bed
Where he prays she'll teach him to fly
'Til the lambs come screaming and tearing his flesh
Devouring every day of his life

The shepherd once dreamt that he slaughtered the lambs
And painted the sky with their blood
The angel came down and shattered his chains
And forever in Heaven they loved

In the dawn the shepherd awakened
To the cries of the innocent lambs
The burden of guilt weighed heavy
And he cried for he felt an evil man

The corpse of your hope is decaying and cold
They're tearing and ripping the soul that you sold
You can't reach your angel, you're flying too low
Damned if you stay and lynched if you go
Cover, avert your eyes
No hope, no red sky at night

The corpse of your hope is decaying and cold
They're tearing and ripping the soul that you sold
You can't reach your angel, you're flying too low
Damned if you stay and lynched if you go
Cover, avert your eyes
No hope, no red sky at night
