Red Handed

There floats a phantom
On this slum's foul air
A shape to eyes with the gift of seeing
into the spectre of endless plight
face to reshape, vanity's fleeing

Red handed, red handed
Night dismembers
Red handed, red handed
Fight to remember

Another's life is racked with shame
Another lie still sounds the same
Feeding fuels of unkept fire
Wallow in your private mire

Into the spectre
Of endless plight
You'd like a face to reshape
But there's no sense
In fleeing
'Cos you're caught red handed
Red handed

Red handed, red handed, red handed
Red handed, red handed, red handed
Red handed, red handed

There floats a phantom
On this slum's foul air
A shape to eyes with the gift of seeing
into the spectre of endless plight
face to reshape, vanity's fleeing

Red handed, red handed
Night dismembers
Red handed, red handed
Fight to remember

Another's eyes open in vain
Another lie sounds the same
Feeding fuels of unkept fire
Fall lifeless in your self-made mire

Into the spectre
Of endless plight
You'd like a face to reshape
But there's no sense
In fleeing
'Cos you're caught red handed
Red handed

Red handed, red handed, red handed
Red handed, red handed, red handed
Red handed, red handed

Red handed, red handed, red handed
Red handed, red handed, red handed
Red handed, red handed...
dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead
