lyrics

Oh redness of blood
Oh redness of blood
Oh redness of blood
Oh redness of blood
Who has flown down
From the height
Which divinity owed
Oh redness of blood
Oh redness of blood

You are the flower
You are the flower
You are the flower
You are the flower
That the winter
Of the serpent’s breath
Never withered
You are the flower
You are the flower
