Every stroke of the hand is a drop
Sterile tears fall into a well, but it remains dry
No one wants to hear your lament
Too many voices resound fragile and broken
Humanity, a bitter cacophony of self pity
Live! Stop asking how and why
Blood is life and must be poured, so that everything may be reborn
Believe me give the land a drink and the earth will give you a deeper link
Swallow the salty taste of pain! Breathe deeply
Don't offer me your pain wrapped like a gift
The soul is a house with a fire, blue or red
In one the coffin in the other your bed
Don't look to the shadow, but fly in the light that it casts
Shut up and bleed or scream out your life
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up... or scream out your life
Serve life at our table and the red flame will take us
Beyond the moon, up to the morning star
Pour desolation and the blue flame, will bury us
Six feet under, without even a little scar
Swallow the salty taste of pain! Breathe deeply
Don't offer me your pain wrapped like a gift
The soul is a house with a fire, blue or red
In one the coffin in the other your bed
Wet my chest with your desolation
But stop before, before the flood
Blow life into my lungs, and spit out the dross
Or I'll become Christ and you my cross
Don't look to the shadow, but fly in the light that it casts
Shut up and bleed or scream out your life
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up... or scream out your life
The soul is a house with a fire, blue or red
In one the coffin, in the other your bed
Don't look to the shadow, but fly in the light that it casts
Shut up and bleed or scream out your life
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up... or scream out your life
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up and bleed
Shut up and bleed, Shut up... or scream out your life
