black blood

we've found a taste for self-destruction

a blind eye for blatant dysfunction

we've found a taste for self-destruction

we're all born in black blood

there's an imminence stirring like a siren singing

there's a debt to pay but they keep on drilling

why is simple truth so hard to tell

we had eden and turned it into hell

born in black blood

because this distance in our minds

is the distance that we're behind

i can't forgive

we won't forget

i can't forgive

we won't forget

the lonely sound of the final drip

like the starting gun marking the end of it

on the shoulders of forever

it's a long way to fall

black gold will be the death

the death of us all

black drought

word will spread

of the time we found what the earth bled

born in black blood

because this distance in our minds

is the distance that we're behind

i can't forgive

we won't forget

i can't forgive

we won't forget

black drought

word will spread

of the time we found what the earth bled

we found the cancer inside of our heads

there's no turning back now

we're as good as dead

when the well dried up no one cared

but when hell shows up

they'll all stop and stare

we've found the cancer inside of our heads

no turning back now

we're as good as dead

i can't forgive

we won't forget

we won't forget
