lyrics

I looked outside onto my fields one silent cold spring night
When Earth opens her weary eyes, when she regains her sight
The air was still and dead until a roaming thing I saw
A shadowed man all dressed in white moves like a spring stream thaws
And ever since I've only known a heart consumed with fright

My dying family, my barren fields, my melting brain
Two hundred days have passed since I first saw you o'er the plain
How can I sleep? How can I breathe in tranquil air?
All windows shrouded, except for one through which I stare

I climb my tower
And I lock the world-facing gate
My muddied light, it radiates
So all near feel my state
This blood inside
You mean to drain from me until I die
I strike the bell
Return to hell

Return to hell

One by one, beneath this man's bedevilled moon
My wife and children untie their mortal knots too soon
Without a call or cry I watch their bodies hit the ground
Without a cry or call I see all of the clocks unwound

I climb my tower
And I lock the world-facing gate
My muddied light, it radiates
So all near feel my state
This blood inside
You mean to drain from me until I die
My courage swells
I'll send you to hell

[Lead: Zeza + Mark]

I walk outside
With open eyes
I see him walk
A cool, slow stride

All of my grief
And every piece
Of a lost life
You've handed me

And in the fields
My fate is sealed
Within arm's reach
His face revealed

I've seen his eyes
It's my demise
But I'm not ready
To comply

No!!

Do not take me to your never-ending maze
Let me live out my final wretched days
You have caught me, but sill you taunt your prey
My death wounds are open, please hear me when I say

This is blood inside of me
This is blood inside of me
This is blood inside of me
Don't take it away

This is blood inside of me
This is blood inside of me
This is blood inside of me
Don't take it away

This is blood inside of me
Lord, this is blood inside of me
Please, this is blood inside of me
Don't take it away

This is blood inside of me
God, this is blood inside of me
No, this is blood inside of me
Don't take it away
Don't take it away

[Lead: Zeza]

He's fallen dead
Upon a rock he's split his head
A wanderer, remote and blind
I'll walk until the end of time
