Blood Is Thicker Than Water -Farewell

Blood is thicker than water (farewell) Burdened and scarred by DNA Passed on to us without our say yet Blood is thicker than water you say? Characteristically speaking at least Yes this much is true Blood coagulates, dries up at such a rate Impermanent - given certain conditions - As flaking paint on the family portrait Carries unknown diseases causing delicate hearts Quite literally to break Water the poor relation oh so giving Life force indeed of all things living Cleanses, refreshes, vitality brings Enriches life prompting hale hearts Passionately to sing Crimson blood dripping oozing Pure water flowing clear and soothing I know now which is my choosing Blood is thicker than water they say This I will dispute Till my last drop has bled away
