September's Bloody Moon

There's blood on the moon tonight.
I watched as it rose between the blue hills,
the mist running before it.

There's blood on the moon tonight.
I prayed as it rose
that my loved ones would be spared.

Theres blood on the moon tonight.
Wringing my hands to wash out the sins
as I walked in its obliterating path.

Septembers Bloody Moon; shall it always be so?
