Love Like Blood
Killing Joke
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
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 'Til the fearless come and the act is done A love like blood A love like blood 'Til 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 'Til legends live and man is god again And self-preservation rules the day no more 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 'Til the fearless come and the act is done 'Til the fearless come and the act is done
