Lyrics

"Bleeding Sky" lyrics [Click here]
We crossed into another world
A quiet watershed
The sky was bleeding, bleeding

Each breath hung softly in the air
Distilled into a tear
Red rain forever falling on me

My barren cold heart
It refused to glow
The world is torn apart
It's my time to go

I'm finding a way to say goodbye
A new day rises from the ashes
Finding a way to say goodbye
I'm leaving this false utopia

Blood red, the colour of my rage
A stain upon my heart
It left me broken, broken

Ruptured
Swept by the undertow
Screamed from a silent tongue
But all that severed still tethers to me

Finding a way to say goodbye (a way to say goodbye)
A new day rises from the ashes (rises from the ashes)
Finding a way to say goodbye (a way to say goodbye)
Standing at the Rubicon
Beneath the bleeding sky

Blood red, bleeding sky
Blood red, bleeding sky
Blood red, bleeding sky
Blood red, bleeding sky

Blood red, bleeding sky
Blood red, bleeding sky...

Blood red, the colour of my rage (blood red)
A stain upon my heart (bleeding sky)
It left me broken, broken

Ruptured (blood red)
Swept by the undertow
Screamed from a silent tongue (bleeding sky)
But all that severed still tethers to me
