Blood On My Hands
There's Blood on my hands and tears in my Soul
the Suffering of the innocent begins to flow
I am not worthy of this Control... the Reasons I do not know
I am Undone and done again, I am Beyond myself again
I am the Predator or the Prey... depends upon the play today
Faith is Faint and lives are Weak
I wash them till they start to squeak and still I see...
this Blood on my hands
Travelers through this Fading Land
here to Help and here to Damn
Look closer now you'll see we all have...
this Blood on our hands
So pick my Brain and beat my Soul
corner me till I've no place to go
Madness finds the deepest crack and lies in wait
for another chance to rear it's Fearful Head and dance
Am I Strong?... or am I Wrong?
the Conscience only knows this song
Is it Mercy?... Is it Love?...
or is it just the God above forcing me to see
this Blood on my hands... this Blood on my hands
I will forever see this Blood on my hands
