Blood Run Red

Hold on to it tight, instil it in you deep
Hold on to it tight, grit down with your teeth
And don't let it slip when it troubles your sleep
It's the only real thing you've been given to keep

Or just hold out your hands and bow to receive
Silence your heart beat and it will leave you
For those who'll fight with me, I say;
Though there might be anguish and torment
It's not over (it's not), not yet over (over)
Look up! Golden light!

Time, the horror enshrouds us
Time, the mould, grows
Harmony will rise, all here will rise
Dying can live inside the horrors that meld
Now joy will come to us all
How? Get out now!
Joy will come for us all
Our dark hour is time

Make the blood run red red red
Make the blood run bright red
When all has been said said said
Lock the door to your head
Make the blood run red red red
Make the blood run bright red
Bright red bright red bright red

All our Countrymen are gagged
How will we ever know
What is truth among the fiction?
Justice comes slow

Waves of grief are all-engulfing
So pick up your words and throw
How can we know what is helping
Just carry on in the show

All our eyes up, all our eyes up
Looking for thee Golden Light

Knowledge is but relative
But it makes us worry so
Learned, rich or powerful
Our frailty is going to show

The end felt like a myth before
But now I can feel it near
And if we don't go under
I will be seeing you all on the pier

It was there all along
All along

Are you seeing crows where there aren't any crows
And the flash of the fox as he roams
And the beasts stretching up with their necks
As they feed in the trees and the sparrows underfoot
In the reeds

Are you hearing owls in the middle of the day
And the brook as it babbles on it's way
As the pine seems to bow with a gesturing hand
To the Wagtails nesting in a whole in the sand

You can read it, learn it, pick it up
But you can't begin to...
All is lost and broken pick it up
Breath some heart back in

Seven is heaven
Eight is hell
Nine is the devil in his ain' sel'!
