Blood Red Summer is the sixth song on the 2003 album In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3.
This song is also the second single from the album. A music video was produced. The music video begins with Claudio Sanchez in a cabin in the woods. He sets up alarms and booby traps, and constructs a fence to surround the cabin. All the while he sees visions of fellow band members Travis Stever, Mic Todd, and Josh Eppard. Claudio is then shown sitting in a store room surrounded by shelves of canned food, batteries, and bottled water, eating soup from the can. As he eats, the spot lights come on and Claudio rushes to the nearest window to see his band mates outside running through his traps. Travis, Mic, and Josh all have glowing, red eyes and move in staggered motions. While looking through a spacing in the wooden door, Claudio fires an arrow from a compound bow which hits Josh in the chest but barely fazes him. The three "infected" band members eventually break into the cabin and surround Claudio, attacking him. Claudio wakes up on the floor in front of a door and seems dazed. As his eyes open they are glowing red as well. The video ends with the four band members staggering off through the woods.
Lyrics
Faint white figures paint my sleep
Please don’t tell my secrets, keep them hidden (you got it)
If the words that matter reach your face from floor
Will you be wondering if, or..? (do I need what is given or honest)
Does it cost me scarring, if the words stay true
Even number your nephew
(I don’t want, don't want it, don't want it anymore)
And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may...
And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may...
In a pain that buckles out your knees
Could you stop this if I plead (you got it)
So destined I am to walk among the dark
A child in keeping secrets from (will they know what I’ve done in the after)
In the sought for matter when the words blame you
In a blood red summer I’ll give you (I don’t want it)
And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may...
And when the answer that you want
Is in the question that you state
Come what may...
What did I do to deserve
What did I do to deserve... this?
What did I do to deserve
What did I do to deserve... this?
What did I do to deserve
What did I do to deserve... this?
What did I do to deserve
What did I do?
