Chicago Maroon Lyrics by Marble Berry Seeds

Meteoronomy

2015

Roses are red and frail and thorny
Blood is red and it tastes like hope
Books are red to share the story
Of the martyr and the rope
The sky is red on the morning
Ash storms alone
Lucifer dressed in his finest boots
Chicago maroon

The wind blew with intensity past bluebells in the field
War paint plastered over our cheeks
Saint Andrew’s cross on every shield
A blue stock sang me the blues
All the soldiers swooned
Japanese maples in the early fall
Chicago maroon

A battalion of green horns
Quiver in their steel-toed boots
Yellow-bellied young men
Dig for valor deep below the sycamore roots
Fireworks, a monarch orange
Worth a cattail brown
Violets of violent color worn by kings and priests and clowns
And halfway up the coast
On the judgment day
A rose fades from red to pink to white to blacks or grey
And when you looked at me with your Gypsy eyes, I knew a hard time was coming soon
We’ll never break away from Chicago maroon
