Love Like Blood Lyrics - Icehouse

We must play our lives like soldiers in the field 

But 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 

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 never fade in season 

As we move towards no end we learn to die 

Red tears are shed on grey
