Blood Moon

Let’s shoot the blood moon
Let the sky be darker
We’ll count the stars soon

To embellish our sweetest dreams
Of freedom and enterprise
Let’s forgive the nights of reprise
Of forged innocence, by the sunrise

Let’s get to the top of that mountain
You & me, kiss a goodbye
The troubled streams, turning on the fountain
Of knowledge that never die

Let’s shoot the blood moon
To rid the wolves, of our error
We’ll count the stars soon
To give up on the nights of terror
