Title: “Red October Skies”

[Soft Piano Intro]

[Verse 1]

Late nights, Petrograd, whispers in the cold Soldiers walking by, carrying tales untold You were a young dreamer, I was a rebel’s girl Two hearts on the edge of changing the world

[Violins join in, building tension]

[Pre-Chorus]

Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies

[Chorus, electric guitar and drums kick in]

Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring

[Second Verse, guitar slows down, more subdued]

Smell of gunpowder, but your love is fresh Rumors of a coup, as our hearts mesh Lenin and Kerensky, headlines of the day But we’re the secret history, they won’t narrate

[Violins swell, bringing emotion to the forefront]

[Pre-Chorus]

Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies

[Chorus, electric guitar and drums amplify]

Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring

[Bridge, music quiets down, softly spoken]

We were naive, perhaps we were young Two lovers entwined in a world undone As the Winter Palace fell, so did the rain In that revolution, we found love’s domain

[Build-up to final chorus, every instrument at full force]

[Pre-Chorus]

Red banners, like the lipstick I wear Caught in a moment, in the October air Promise of a new dawn, in your eyes Two hearts united under the red October skies

[Final Chorus, with backing vocals]

Revolution, what a sweet confession Our love, a subplot in a history lesson Oh, October, you changed everything From autumns of sorrow, to the springs that you bring

[Outro, music fades away leaving only the soft piano]

Red October skies, a love undefined Two hearts in a chapter that history couldn’t bind Oh, we are the lost verse, in the tale of that year But in my heart, October, you’re forever near

[End, final piano note echoing into silence]
