Bleed Our Hearts Out

lyrics

Bleed Our Hearts Out

On the river’s bank
dwell the crowds that we’re bound to betray
On the red sand
they’ll be soon facing their final day
So fearshaken
’cause they know when we come to invade
We will slaughter
anyone who may stand in our way

We’re ready to bleed our hearts out
for women & wine & gold
Insane we might please the devil
no reason to grow too old

What I learned was
with the knives at their necks they’d agree
Never thought that
terror could be directed at me
While realising
I’ve unleashed the worst fears in my life
Those who taught me
they might never be facing their trials

We were ready to rip their hearts out
for diamonds & oil & gold
My brothers said we were rebels
our cause I barely recall

I stole killed & raped & torched
for women & wine & gold
My gun made me my own god
with powers beyond control

I was ready to drive my soul out
for dollars & power & food
In turn I became this devil
now facing you smeared with blood.
