Lyrics

Red Over White

The woods and the town covered in snow

All transformed to a fairytale

Like the fresh page of a book opened up

Ready

Waiting for the story to begin

For your role in this scene

Objects in black ink

Fringed in white

Breathing and living

And anticipating a colour

All transformed to a fairytale

Unreal and inviting

Inviting you to step in

And follow the path never-ending

You're now leaving imprints

And somehow expecting

Expecting someone

Maybe the prince in disguise

Suffering a snow queen curse

But you're wrong of course

It's in reverse

Out in the snow

Muffled

The last silent night

The last sacrifice

Red running over white

Red running over white

Red running over white

Red running over white

Running red over white

Running red over white

Red over white

Red over white

Red over white

Israel

Israel
