about

This song is from the classical song cycle, Songs of Anxiety, by Gayther Myers.

lyrics

A pint of blood is on the sand
A million martyrs hold belief and
New religions crop up where old religions stand
Only to die in blessed relief.
For in days of yore
As in days to come
Logic and belief fight hand to hand
For those who die... honor.
But why? Why did no one hear the martyr's cry?
The blood shadows lengthen
Organizers say we must strengthen
Let no one know the gospel truth:
People follow what they are told.
But all I saw was blood
People spurning, people chiding, people fighting, people dying
A pint of blood is all it takes
To create a barrier between us changing love to hate.
Break it.
I'm human whatever the color of my skin or eyes
Or whom I take to bed
Or whom I choose to wed
People laughing, people loving, people giving, people helping
People believe, dream and live so that the blood will clot,
Stop shadow casting
