One Blood by Terence Jay Lyrics

In the far away fires
Where the hills forever burn
At the feet of our heroes
We try hard to learn
But the lesson is lost there
In the smoke and the mud
That we are one flesh
One breath
One life
One blood

I stood by the river
That ran red with shame
I stood in the killing fields
Where death had no name
I stood with my brothers
And awaited flood
And we were one flesh
One breath
One life
One blood
Then I fell to the ground
Tasted ashes on my town
Thinking that only the dead
Are forever young..

There was peace in the twilight
And for a moment or more
It was a world without danger
A world without war
And I will take all your suffering
It will do any good
Cause we are one flesh
One breath
One life
One blood
