Red Skies

There's only the red skies burning in the morning

While the birds take flight before the storm

But I see now how beautiful it really is

Always thought that I was scared of dying, turns out I was just afraid to live

I was just afraid to live

It was a wild force like a dark horse pulling the night down on me

The weight of the world bringing me to my knees

And the shadow of the new moon was of no use to me

I've got nothing left to burn, no beginnings left for me to see, for me to see

There's only the red skies burning in the morning

While the birds take flight before the storm

But I see now how beautiful it really is

Always thought that I was scared of dying, turns out I was just afraid to live

I was just afraid to live

It was a wild force like a white horse pulling the stars down to me

Light trailing the sky, mid-august highs

And the silver of the full moon was worth gold to me

Wouldn't trade it in for nothing, wouldn't trade it for nothing you'll see, oh you will see

It's just like the red skies burning in the morning

While the birds take flight before the storm

But I see now how beautiful it really is

Always thought that I was scared of dying, turns out I was just afraid to live

I was just afraid to live
