Seth Lakeman: Blood Red Sky

Staring at the dark with hungry eyes
The moonlight flickered and a shadow cried
A gold ring flashed as the howling stopped
I called her name as the west wind dropped
I called her name as the west wind dropped

I brushed her on the arm with a silver cane
Took her by the hand and saw her pain
My breath smelt like a burning house
With bitter cold words upon my mouth
With bitter cold words upon my mouth

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With bright sharp teeth to bite the truth
I'll steal your honour and tell you lies
And leave you all alone in a blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in a blood red sky

You'll wake up late in the midday sun
Reach for a shadow but I'll be gone
Through empty fields, storm blown trees
Praying to the night to set you free
Praying to the night to set you free

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With bright sharp teeth to bite the truth
I'll steal your honour and tell you lies
And leave you all alone in a blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in a blood red sky

Stained glass windows and shattered pains
A fairytale story and autumn rains
A falling shadow and a cold embrace
Cross your heart and you'll see my face
Cross your heart and you'll see my face

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With bright sharp teeth to bite the truth
I'll steal your honour and tell you lies
And leave you all alone in a blood red sky

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With bright sharp teeth to bite the truth
I'll steal your honour and tell you lies
And leave you all alone in a blood red sky

A tall dark figure is on the loose
With bright sharp teeth to bite the truth
I'll steal your honour and tell you lies
And leave you all alone in a blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in a blood red sky
I'll leave you all alone in a blood red sky
