about

The music was created by Chris Donald and for a number of years I tried writing lyrics for it. I knew it was going to be about blood and as the song unfolded it became about four people at different times in history. At their death, their blood cries out for justice, redemption, revenge, relief. The question is 'which blood cries most insistently?' This song is the closer on my new album Pand​üzima and acts as a meditation. Is there hope to be found amidst all the horror and destruction?

lyrics

He struck your skull
The club slew and was broken, was broken
Your blood cried out
Enraged, the ground soaking

Sacred O hatred, avenge me, avenge me
Sacred O hatred, avenge me, avenge me

A mountain of lifejackets
Blanket the shore
Your blood went cold
As you sank to the floor
Hit with a force
Taking shoes off your feet
Your blood wept
Holy water onto the street

Ancients, Ancients, please see me, receive me
Ancients, O Ancients, just see me, receive me

Sweltering passion
The treacherous kiss
Still Your blood pleads
Tenacious insists

Brothers, sisters, it’s all here, it’s all here
It’s all in the blood
Brothers, sisters, it’s all here, it’s all here
It’s all in the blood
Brothers, sisters, it’s all here, it’s all here
It’s all in the blood
