[Chorus]
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore I want them to turn black
I see the maidens fair dressed in their summer clothes
And I must bow my head until my darkness goeth

[Verse 1]
I see the lonely chapel ‘tis all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
The townsfolk cross themselves and swiftly look away
Much like a newborn babe it doth happen every day

[Verse 2]
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door I must have it painted black
Look now for no more day, nor night, but that from hell
Then all must as they may in darkness learn to dwell

[Verse 3]
No more doth blue spread o’er my green and wretched sea
I could not e’er foretell this fate befalling thee
If I stare long enough into the setting sun
My love shall laugh with me before the morn doth come

[Chorus]
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours anymore I want them to turn black
I see the maidens fair dressed in their summer clothes
And I must bow my head until my darkness goeth
[Outro]
