Terence Jay - One Blood 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 away it flood

And we were one flesh, one breath, one life, one blood

Then I felt to the ground

Tasted ashes on my tongue

Thinking that only the dead

Are forever young

There was peace in the twilight

And for a moment among

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
