Crimson On The White Sand

(album: The Serpent Rings - 2020)

Undo the years
Before we all go to sleep
And keep your memory bright
Your thoughts so sweet

Yeah forgotten faces
Eyes so deep and hollow
And the darkest places
Ride the moonlight desperado

You're still bleeding
Dressed for glory
All the bells ring
Predatory
You got sorrow
Into your brain
All that followed
Was your own pain

Still hear those guns
They carry into the night
The echo of their goodbyes
Last words recite

Well no one can touch you
Lay your body down and
Tell what you have been through
Now there's crimson on the white sand

You're still bleeding
Dressed for glory
All the bells ring
Predatory
You got sorrow
Into your brain
All that followed
Was your own pain

You remember well
Old photographs
Soon fade away
And footprints can lead you astray

Well no one can touch you
Lay your body down and
Tell what you have been through
Now there's crimson on the white sand

You're still bleeding
Dressed for glory
All the bells ring
Predatory
You got sorrow
Into your brain
All that followed
Was your own pain

You're still bleeding
Dressed for glory
All the bells ring
Predatory
You got sorrow
Into your brain
All that followed
Was your own pain
