Cover your eyes, my dear
For I will paint the day bright red
Cover your ears, I bring revolt

Stitching shades with a scarlet thread

The crimson bay was not a dream
Sharpen four pens, prepare the bait
Cover your ears and hush the scream

In red I paint the day to come

Open your ears, young one, follow
The light laughter of a sister

Open your eyes, my dear, wait
Until I scar the night with a lighter
