Ryan Innes and EAC ACapella Choir perform an a-cappella piece where multiple voices trade verses about a red sky that symbolizes emotional pain. The lyrics move through images of bruising, love and hate, and a yearning to escape toward a blue sky instead, ending with a stark declaration of death under the red.

Winds of crazy blow from all sides. If I could fly away from fear. Then I would fly away from here.
Touch of love, touch of hate, black and blue on my face.
No way to die another day.
I wish that I'd be like you.
Sail beneath the sky, but tonight I'll cry under the red sky, under the red sky. My shoulders beaten down by waves of Feet.
Then I'll sail away from here.
Touch of love, touch of hate. Black and blue on my face.
Oh, where did I come to rest?
Wish that I could be like you.
The sand beneath the sky blue, but I'm high and dry under the red sky.
Red sky. Red sky. Red sky.
Touched of love, touched of faith.
Black and blue on my face. Nowhere to hide under the red. I wish that I could be like you, live beneath the sky blue. But one night I'll die. I'll die. Under the red sky. Under the red sky.
Under the red sky. Under the red sky. Under the red sky.
