You think you've found the meaning of life
That thing you need to get you through the night
But once your addiction cannot be mistaken
You live in a nightmare and you cannot awaken

It tempts you so hard with passion and smiles
It knows how to steal you, so cunning and guile
You think it's your Peter, but it's really your Judas
Cuz it will betray you, betray you with a kiss

Blinded by the power of love - the red magic
Believer in the delusion - (oh red magic)
Victim of the illusion - (of red magic)
Can't see the bullet in that gun...

The red magic
It's so manic
It'll get ya, don't fall under the spell
The red magic
It's so tragic
You think you're in heaven
But you're really in hell

Time and time again I've seen it with my eyes
Strong men and women now found hypnotized
Though pain is its potion, this potion they now thirst
Once independent - now a slave to their curse
