Old Red eyes is back
Red from the night before the night before
Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door
Old Red's in town
And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound
Just adding to the winkles on his deathly frown
They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed
They're only red from all the women that I could've wed
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
Listen up Old Red
You never listened to a word the doctor said
He tould you if you drank another you'd be dead
Old Red Eyes is back
His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore
He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw
They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head
They're only red from all the things I could have done instead
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
Blue is a streetr without an end
Red is the colour of my hell
Blue is a greeting from a friend
Red is the colour of farewell
Old Red he died
And every single landlord in the district cried
An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side
A lazy little tear running from each eye
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blueFirst one to ride was white
Had a bow and a crown
He went forth conquering
Forth he went to conquer
Come and see
Other horse that was red
Power given, take peace
They should kill each other
There was given great sword
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power, with beasts of earth
I beheld a black horse
One on him had the scales
Measure for a penny
Hurt not the oil and wine
Come and see
Fourth one to ride was pale
This was to be the last
Name of the one was Death
All Hell followed with him
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power, with beasts of earth
They are riding, riding today
Come and see
Given the power, to kill with sword
Given the power, to kill with hunger
Given the power, to kill with death
Given the power
