Red Eyes in the Storm (Inspired by the Varginha Case, 1996) (Verse 1) The rain poured down, the wind howled through the night Three young girls walked through shadows in flight Across an empty field, forgotten by time And there they saw something, beyond reason or rhyme Crouched on the ground, a figure appeared Red eyes burning, filled with fear Terror struck deep, they made the sign And screamed to the skies: “It’s the devil’s design!” (Chorus) Creature or illusion? Mystery or confusion? Those eyes that glow in the dark Left their mark Is it real or a lie? A secret from the sky? Between rumors and truths untold The story never grows old (Verse 2) They told their mother, who just shook her head But at that place, a strange scent spread A mark on the ground, the dog sniffed around But no answers, no clues were found The town started whispering, the rumors flew Of lights in the sky and things no one knew Soldiers denied what people would say But fear in the streets wouldn’t fade away (Chorus) Creature or illusion? Mystery or confusion? Those eyes that glow in the dark Left their mark Is it real or a lie? A secret from the sky? Between rumors and truths untold The story never grows old (Bridge) The keeper saw it, time stood still They say the firemen took it at will Three animals died without a cause And the mystery faded behind closed doors Who holds the key to what’s been concealed? A truth the world has yet to reveal An encounter beyond our comprehension That left a town with endless tension (Final Chorus) Creature or illusion? Mystery or confusion? Those eyes that glow in the dark Left their mark Is it real or a lie? A secret from the sky? Between rumors and truths untold Varginha’s tale will never grow old (Outro) In the echoes of rain, in the whispering air The mystery lingers, still hanging there Red eyes, a memory no one can deny A dark encounter that time couldn’t hide.
