Under the crimson moon, I let my woman go
I had no shame, I went far and low
Her wings were broken, I had her tamed
The animal in me ruled in vain
I forgot the freedom that love must possess
It shouldn’t be so tight, or you make it a mess

Under the crimson moon, I once killed a man
The one that was my good old friend
Jealousy and hatred I had for what he had
His Coin and goodwill, made me despise him so bad
Under the gunpoint he said, “My brother, envious and vile”
“Your life will be condemned now through the miles”

Under the crimson moon, the world has turned red
Blood is on the landscapes, I wish I was dead
But I won’t be content, till I become the king
The lord showed me the future, in the land of the dreams
All will be mine if I control the people’s minds
And let them know, the cross is tainted with crimes

Here's yet another version of the same song, using same method, and using powerful images as illustration... the lines of art here are just amazing and captivating. The mood, the music, the voice, the optics... so well done!
