Is Blood - Ambo

what is blood tell me is it blue?

like a river, flows from me to you

tributary of veins upon my wrist

all lead to a sea of pain and bliss

the sea is the heart, mind and soul

no one on this ocean has control

not even god, he allows the choice

the ocean rages — I rejoice

laughing and bleeding inside this storm

I look up, I scream and am forlorn

back and forth I dream and deeply sleep

from nightmare to peaceful dreams I keep

I’ll tell you a secret… listen well

I still taste heaven, seized by hell

and in this seizure that wars in my soul

I find great peace in flesh and bone

so war and wage within my sky blue blood

we’ll build a bridge and cross over the flood
