Paint It Black — Hildegard von Blingin’

Originally by The Rolling Stones

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

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

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

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
