Red Dead Ahead
Deep in the heart of the Cardinal Wood
Scarlett wandered in her crimson hood
She stared in awe at the flowers in bloom
She had never seen such a striking shade of maroon
As she walked among fallen petals on the road
She could have sworn that the ruby red petals had glowed
But the question remained - where was Scarlett's destination
That brought her through this carmine sensation?
Well Scarlett, you see, doesn't quite recall
How could she when faced with the marvel of it all
She felt so at home in this land of brick red
That she didn't think twice about the blood on her head
Cranberry apple cherry wine
Scarlett has made it to the divine
