Red...
Drowning me in roses
Our love burning in passion and fire
Your beautiful lips against mine
Our blood flowing in one river
The intensity of your radiating skin
Makes me feel red

Red...
I see the anger in your voice
Your threats conquering me
I hear the blood coursing through your veins
Hatred filled with fire climaxes
The last petal falls of the dying rose
Makes me feel red

You could love, or you could hate. Either way you see and feel red.
