Life’s Last Blood

One glance across the crowded room

Chance sparking of the wires

One single breath and gone too soon

And the hunger this inspires

Invitation in the dark

Warm touch surrounding

With the taste of love

On lips as red as life’s last blood


Soft brushing of the finger tips

Amidst the movement of the crowd

With the music and the friends eclipsed

And intentions now avowed

Fulfilment in the dark

Warm touch surrounding

With the taste of love

On lips as red as life’s last blood


The promises and prophecy

And the echoes of the past

The falsehoods and hypocrisy

And the questions never asked

There is solace in the dark

Warm touch surrounding

With the taste of love

On lips as red as life’s last blood
