The Blood Moon

Red moon in October night, Crimson sprays, from pale light. Earth’s shadow, casting lovely glow, Red atmosphere transferring light to pale moon, The Blood Moon shines tonight. Watch from the land, Watch from the sea, Watch from the air, Watch from space, Watch the Blood Moon. Red light shines down on Earth’s shadow, Common night displayed in bloody clarity From land, air, and sea. Cast lovely light glow around Earth, From outer space, Lights out, deep red glow. No red moon in black depths of space, But red Earth, made brighter From the Blood Moon. A night of sorrow, warrior loss, Pray for survival, Of warriors fighting abroad, Tribute paid to dead warriors of the past, The Blood Moon shines for the dead to. Night is over, The Blood Moon is gone, One more year, till the time is right, And the Blood Moon shall shine again, But now back to life, Anticipation for the next crimson night.
