lyrics

As he drives home, he sees a crimson bow, that reminds him of his wife and child.
Those matching pins, on matching coats, to remind him of days gone past.
But he'll never see their likes again because they're all going to die today.
But he doesn't know as he tries the door, the horror he will find inside.

The horror inside......
And his little girl, she has a look in her eyes that says she's glad she don't have to live no more.
And he goes to his wife, to cover her modesty, to find it is no more.
Blood stains and skin are on the walls so he falls to his knees and sheds a silent tear.
To let go of them, but not let go of love.
He licks his finger and writes their epitaph.

As he writes their names, he thinks he hears them cry but he's mistaken and so he kisses them goodbye.
And the crimson bow it burns on the backs of his eyes; he sees it every time he dreams and every time he cries.
And the stench gets in his nose and he begins to heave all because he knows he won't see their likes again.
Won't see their likes again, won't see their likes again... won't see their likes again.

Won't see their likes again, won't see their likes again.
And he gets down on bended knee to pour forth such a rich stream of speech but he won't even speak again.
And gets a sheet to cover his family but he breaks down and screams at the horror that he sees.
The crimson bows lie shattered on their breasts or, more correctly, what used to be their chests.
And the crimson bow it burns on the backs of his eyes; he sees it every time he dreams and every time he cries.
But then he thinks that maybe there's some hope because, you never know, he may see them again in Hell.
See them again in Hell, see them again in Hell..... see them again in Hell (repeat as needed)
