Only the Red
By netherbound
Going down the river
Down the river flow
Where this river ends
Only the red will know
Let's go, let's go
Time is slipping away
Let it go, let it go
Only the red will know
Gonna watch you slither
Coiled to strike at will
Wrapped around my soul
Only the red shall spill
Let's go, let's go
Time is slipping away
Let it go, let it go
Only the red will know
Stars of another king
Shine down on his gloom
Nations of all the dead
Only the red will bloom
Let's go, let's go
Time is slipping away
Let it go, let it go
Only the red will know
Let's go, let's go
Time is slipping away
Let it go, let it go
Only the red will know
Going down the river
Down the river flow
Where this river ends
Only the red will know
Only the red will know
Only the red will know
Only the red will know

This work is reminiscent of some of the early 20s black poetry that came out of New Orleans. I liked the rhythm and chanting repetition. It's almost experimental in its form but extremely interesting to read and try to grasp.
