{{Infobox song | cover = Red Water Christmas Mourning.jpg | album = October Rust | track = 6 | duration = 6:48 | genres = <onlyinclude>{{genres|Doom|goth metal}}</onlyinclude> | next_track = My Girlfriend's Girlfriend | prev_track = Green Man | play = red+water+christmas+mourning }} {{Song intro|October Rust}} This inspirational song is about [[Pete]]'s father dying on Christmas morning as well as three other of his family members since the previous Christmas. The verse deals with the grief while chorus deals with how to cope with the pain from the personal standpoint. The song was written to cope with the pain. 'Red water' in the title refers to the red wine used to โchase them awayโ. After beginning with horns, two Christmas carols can be heard in themโthe first is the slow keyboard rhythm of "{{wp|Carol of the Bells}}" and slide guitar, then following a midsection, there's "{{wp|God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen}}" overlaid with the sounds of howling blizzard, an ornament falling off the Christmas tree, and a young girl crying.
