The Red Gallows
(A rebuilt person whispers)
Before I knew Love
I was once so pure
With a heart so free
Carefree for all to see
Everyone loved and smiled at me
But one day Love came calling
And offered me the chance to take a risk
Offered me her spiritual red gallows with rope and chair
Smiled and said
Climb up there
Put on the rope and stand on chair
But beware
With just one soft push
From something unknown in the shadows
You could lose all your mind
And all you own
Standing on my metaphorical chair
Beneath my spiritual red gallows
Like many before you
What do you want to do?
Risk all for my love
And climb up
To experience a feeling where emotions don't stop
Or stay down there,
Stuck in your rut
Well, that was so long ago
And I still see Love
Everywhere I go
Repeating what she said before
But this time
I'd rather stay slightly pure
With a heartbreaking free
Trying to be carefree for all to see
For even though Love still smiles at me
She can keep her red spiritual gallows and metaphorical chair
For sometimes she tempts
Only fools
To proudly
Stand up there
