The tide of the west is rising
The tide of the west is rising
With people from every tribe
With people from every tribe
From China to Puerto Rico
From China to Puerto Rico
We follow the same design
We follow the same design
I travel this place with freedom
I travel this place with freedom
I sing to the moon and sky
I sing to the moon and sky
I can't stop the beast from roaming
I can't stop the beast from roaming
The deepest fear, my desire
The deepest fear, my desire
The deepest fear, my desire
The deepest fear, my desire
The deepest fear, my desire
The deepest fear, my desire
One blood
One blood
One blood only
One blood only
Dust of earth sitting at the table of my desires
Dust of earth sitting at the table of my desires
One blood
One blood
One blood only
One blood only
Liquid soul
Liquid soul
Sign of time, darkest light
Sign of time, darkest light
Liquid soul
Liquid soul
Sign of time, darkest light
Sign of time, darkest light
One blood

One blood only
One blood only
Dust of earth sitting at the Table of my desires
Dust of earth sitting at the Table of my desires
One blood
One blood
One blood only
One blood only
Liquid soul

Sign of time, darkest light
Sign of time, darkest light
