Falling Snow Lyrics

I wonder if

"Red birds escape from my wounds"

is a reference to or from the movie The Holy Mountain or even just a borrowed idea. If you recall the scene where the guards fire upon a group of people and the tourists rush in to film and photograph the event. You see birds crawling out of the bullet wounds and flying off.
