RED

Once again I am here
Confounded by this sorrow that's brought my body down
As the fires draw me near I see rivers of crimson rise
I'm dragged right to the ground
I'm a well of devastation barely covered by a face
One refraction of the sun in all its different shades
Anguish of biblical proportions, the cycle begins again
The monster's on its way

I'm proven powerless now
(I'm proven powerless now)
I'm proven powerless
And the tears sting my eyes as I howl like an animal slain
And red is the pain
Red is the pain

Once again I am here
Confounded by this pridefulness that's brought my body down
As the fires draw me near, I see rivers of crimson rise
I'm tantalized by a crown
So raw, this feeling
Bubbled up and boiled down its source is easier to recognize
It hides amid the eyes
Slips in the cracks intimidation makes
And motivates a breaking from composure
The monster's on its way

Just the same as it always was
I march in the footsteps of those who have conquered before me
And red is the glory
Red is the glory

Once again I am here
Confounded by this anger that's brought my body down
As the fires draw me near, I see rivers of crimson rise
I'm dragged right to the ground
I'm a wellspring of frustration barely covered by a face
One refraction of the sun in all its different shades
Fury of biblical proportions, the cycle begins again
The monster's on its way

Just the same as it always was
I'm proven powerless now
My animus yearns for a stage
And red is the rage

Thriving in disguise under a multitude of names
Knowing no boundary to what it can claim
The unrelenting sun lights the world
Revealing all the different shades
And if you look close enough
The red is the same
