The blue, black and red painting coves her eye
like the clouds cover the sky,
the red paint drips down her face and stains her white blows
the darkness is there, the darkness is always there
its a shadow following you to war
the war of light and dark inside
inside her was pure heart
that blue, black and red bruise coves her face
the red blood drips down her face
