It starts with yellow
The color that brings us hope
It shines like the sun
White is purity
Brought by the shining yellow
Always doomed to fall
Black covers the white
It corrupts purity's shine
Becoming its death
Then its crimson red
The blood spilled by purity
And all the others
Blue washes the blood
Destroying the evidense
Blotting out the sun
