Hate to say this, but I think Ruby is the one being sung to. The lyrics "Sow the death then reap the seed./Reap the seed." imply a Grimm Reaper, who uses scythe. So far, only Ruby and Qrow have been shown to use a scythe. Also, the lyric "The moon will sadly watch the roses die." seems to imply that the Rose family has a history of dying. However, this might not be literally but on a more spiritual level. It's implying that the Roses turn to darkness/their souls die. Also, if "Red Like Roses Part II" is a duet between Ruby and Summer like it's implied to be, then the lyric "I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do;/I made a sacrifice, but forced a bigger sacrifice on you." may mean that Summer became the angel fallen from grace, and realizing this, she killed herself to keep from sacrificing her daughter, husband, and stepdaughter. Only after Ruby starts training (and Summer is dead) does she realize that she accidentally made her daughter have a crueler fate. Hence, "Wish I could talk to you, if only for a minute;/Make you understand the reasons why I did it."
