My Name Is Red
My Name Is Red: A Journey through the Underworld and Beyond
Lyrics
I am a burning bridge
I symbolize a burning bridge
Over the river, to the shade of the trees
I cross over the river to the shade of the trees
Towards the white, white sea
Heading towards the white, white sea
Until the end of the night
Continuing until the end of the night
My name is RED
Introducing myself as RED
Black light, white noise
Describing a contrast of black light and white noise
The underworld
Referring to the underworld
My name is RED
Reiterating my identity as RED
Black light, white noise
Repeating the contrast of black light and white noise
The wind on the Moon
Mentioning the wind on the Moon
Too late phalarope
Expressing it's too late for the phalarope
Too late cotton road
Indicating it's too late for the cotton road
Too late August nights
Stating it's too late for August nights
Too late thousand cranes
Conveying it's too late for a thousand cranes
Far from Mount Ararat
Being far from Mount Ararat
On the year of the flood
Referring to a time marked by a flood
I am the many
Identifying as the many
Outside of every door
Existence outside of every door
My name is RED
Reiterating my identity as RED
Black light, white noise
Repeating the contrast of black light and white noise
The underworld
Referring again to the underworld
My name is RED
Reiterating my identity as RED
Black light, white noise
Repeating the contrast of black light and white noise
The wind on the Moon
Mentioning the wind on the Moon once more
Too late Absalom
Expressing it's too late for Absalom
Too late the messenger
Indicating it's too late for the messenger
Too late the Palace Street
Stating it's too late for Palace Street
Too late the brave, new world
Conveying it's too late for the brave, new world
My name is RED
Reiterating my identity as RED
Black light, white noise
Repeating the contrast of black light and white noise
The underworld
Referring again to the underworld
My name is RED
Reiterating my identity as RED
Black light, white noise
Repeating the contrast of black light and white noise
The wind on the Moon

Too late the bluest eyes

Too late a little life

Too late the emerald girl
