Bad blood, rivers run dry

Thunder comes and the children cry bad blood

Never can change, no one here to blame

Bad blood, older than time

Followed me down from my fathers tribe

Bad blood, making me shake

Running through my veins, bad blood



Too many questions, so many unanswered times

Most times the finger points at me

In my confusion, might slip and cross the line

I'm not to blame for all you see

You can't help me it's in my soul

Pray for mercy, nowhere else to go



Repeat chorus :



In my confession, i swear and cross my heart

I stand before you what i am

Gunpowder ready, just waiting for a spark

And those before me understand

Please protect me, keep me safe

Heaven help me, save me from this fate



Repeat chorus :



Swimming hard and fast

Against the time

Lost in a flood

Of ancient fire



Repeat chorus :
