Color of Blood

A hunger never satisfied

I can't keep you off my mind

Dancing, moving, passing time

Lost worlds and endless nights

I held you at a distance then

So I could keep you sacred now

I watched the veins under my skin

Moving, changing from blue to red

Those colours battle to repent

Fighting some kind of punishment

For loving you

The deathless tell me

"Go on, stay low

Grow old let your hair grow"

In sleep there is no sorrow

Slowly prolonging a cruel fate

For loving you

They hear everything

They glow with their own light

They sing out your name

A thousand times at night

Generations of sadness

Inbred and under fire

In a thousand languages

A word for this desire

For loving you
