Mirel Wagner — "Red" (self-titled, 2011)




R   E   D

he said come out and play
and it was all fun and games
he asked me to dance
and we danced
his eyes where red
and at the first brake of day
my true love went away

he’s evil she says

he knows your nameand you’ve played his game
he’ll eat your flesh
and he’ll spit out the seeds
those eyes will go red
and at the first brake of day
your true love will go away

leave let me be

let the devil take me
leave can’t you see
you cannot save me

so I sit and wait

’till one night he came
he asked me to dance
and we danced
his eyes went red
and at the first brake of day
my true love went away
