"Bloodletting (Live)" lyrics - KHEMMIS
Have we gone blind?
I used to sing of finding light
In the darkened skies above
No fleeting glimpse
All hope is bleeding from this shell
The wolves are snapping at all sides
Consuming fear
The faith I held is fractured like a mirror
Both sides reflect the darkness of the other
Without the will to look inside
We cut our wrists on the divide
And I am bleeding out with no one there beside me
No fleeting glimpse
No hope remains inside this hell
The noose is gripping at my neck with every breath
Our life is drained
We're being punished for our crimes
The executioner calls out a final time
Offering wealth and wine
Take my hand and twist the knife
We're depraved and reviled
Welcoming eternal night
The faith I held is fractured like a mirror
Both sides reflect the darkness of the other
Without the will to look inside
We cut our wrists on the divide
And I'm retreating now into the silence of the starless skies
Into the starless skies
Eternal rest
Merciful death
