Red Ribbons - Tea Leaf Green

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
