Love Like Blood - Killing Joke

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field The life is short, I'm running faster all the time Strength and beauty destined to decay So cut the rose in full bloom Till the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood, a love like blood Till the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood, a love like blood Everyday through all frustration and despair Love and hate fight with burning hearts Till legends live and man is God again And self-preservation rules the day no more Oh, we must dream of promised lands and fields That's never fade in season As we move towards no end we learn to die Red tears are shed on gray Till the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood, a love like blood Till the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood, a love like blood Till the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood, a love like blood Till the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood, a love like blood

How long since I got some sleep How long since she grew her hair to keep The night from getting colder for The owl living upon her shoulder 'Cause one way or the other she will drink my blood like wine The only question left is whether that day the horns will sound And one way or the other it will keep me dragging on For hell knows how long And now the carnival band is gone This land reaching from the riverside where it begins to the hour where it ends It belongs to me or at least that's what she pretends And one way or the other she will drink my blood like wine The only question left is whether that day the horns will sound And one way or the other it will keep me dragging on For hell knows how long Like the oldest was sent ahead of the other In the middle of a small town where everybody sleeps with friend and enemy one after the other Yeah baby that's where we were born for each other Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced Raise your glass to the nighttime and the ways To choose a mood and have it replaced

I was born to see two thousand years Of man's effect upon the planet Extinction seems to be a plausible risk Whatever happens well I'm part of all this My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you Fire burn all our uncertainties Water wash away impurities Contradictions and predictions abound Yes I believe that we can turn it around My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you My life I've been waiting for this moment My life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment All my life I've been waiting for this moment to come Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you Taste the salt of my tears Take the wealth of my years Singing in the millennium with you Resolutions for show Old ways don't seem to know Singing in the millennium with you

Adorations Courage and Cowards move, heroes to ecstasy Welcomes of war and wounds, vigil and victory Structures of atoms dance, sugar towards the taster, Prey to the predator, love as we're falling down Through light and laughter flow, to dirge and death we go, Mindless processions move, lanterns of burning towns, Welcome to fray and feast, bliss in all sorrows found, Rhythms and random moves and waves of adorations.

Delight and suffering, these roles that we have found Nourished by food we eat, hungered by waste excrete From apes or sons of god, let every act be sacred. Patterns I'm finding As pain and joy and sorrow mingle. Patterns we're finding Our faces raised in adorations.
