Literature Text

I spend my days bathed in crimson,
and the scarlet covers my stains.
Blood can drown a multitude of sins.

The drops fall from my fingertips
and bloom as lilies in the parched dust.
I am the colour of the setting sun.

This is the blood of Man, the blood of God.
It washes away the slaughtered bull,
bears away holocausts in its torrential flood.

It is the blood of the living, yours and mine,
spilled from the veins of the unborn and the ancient,
all who have been and will be.

We are the children of blood,
richer than wine, sang real,
dyed ruby, the colour of life.
Day 7.

Ooooh, I love this ! It has this mystical feel to it that is really attractive to me <3 I especially love the line "I am the colour of the setting sun".
