Red Is Dead

There is Red laying on the floor

He has bled he is bleeding more

He was hit in the head from behind

You can see parts of his exposed mind

It was a dark night full of pouring rain

Red knew one way to get rid of his pain

He took a metal hammer and hit it in

It went down deep, deep under his skin

Now Red is pouring out on the floor

Red bled until he was Red no more

The scars Red now wears upon his hide

Are not as deep as the scars he wore inside
