Red Ribbons

Be careful and aware of the tricks
The twists and turns and the curves
The danger that the darkness can give
And the way we always get what we deserve
I’m gonna cut to the heart like a razor
Red ribbons will fly high
Cut to the bone
Sunk like a stone
Drunk on the blood red sky
A train has slipped and fell off the cliff
Swallowed by a monster below
A puff of smoke is all that was left
Like the ghosts of those that we used to know
I’m gonna cut to the heart like a razor
Red ribbons will fly high
Dropped to the ground
Never should have found
Underneath the blood red sky
Underneath the blood red sky
I will get you there, this I swear
I’ll get you there
The fire to our torches still clinks
To the shadows at the edge of our eyes
Our footsteps through the forest sink
To mute the nightingale’s reply
I’m gonna cut to the heart like a razor
Red ribbons will fly high
Cut to the bone
Sunk like a stone
Underneath the blood red sky
I’m gonna cut to the heart like a razor
Red ribbons will fly high
Cut to the bone
Sunk like a stone
Left on the ground, never to be found, anwhere around
Underneath the blood red sky
Notes: Song was originally titled «Blood Red Sky.» The band briefly considered
naming their full length album on which this song appears, Raise up the Tent, «Shadows at the Edge of our Eyes,» or «Shadows at the Edge.»
