Lyrics

Love Of Life (Omniscience)

[Verse 1]

For the love of life

For the love of life

In the light of life

And the blood of life

And the strong survive

For the love of life

For the love of life

For the blood of life

And the heavens come

For the strongest ones

For the love of life

For the love of life

For the love of life

For the blood of life

For the love of life

For the love of life

[Verse 2]

In the endless light

For the blood of life

And the strong will rise

For the love of light

And the strong will rise

In the endless light

For the blood of life

For the love of life

And the heavens come

For the strongest ones

In a universe

Made of blood and love

In the blood is light

In the light is life

For the love of life

For the love of life

For the blood of life

For the love of life

In the light is life

In the blood is light
