Deadly Sinners
3 Inches of Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't walk the cold and ruthless streets
They drain the life from all they meet
The servants crying underground
Smelling mortal blood like hounds
As you crawl the sewer pipes
Deadly sinners set to strike
As you walk around the bend
You'll be dead right there where you stand
Flash of iron, leather, spikes, and swords
Mighty warriors with metal on their side
Enemies of metal, your death is our reward
Triumphant victory when you bring the steel to life

Deadly sinners
Deadly sinners
Deadly sinners
Deadly sinners

Victory when you bring the steel to life
Crushing the light, stalking the night
Deadly sinners always win
Kill the tyrants endless conquest
With no mercy, straight for his heart
Blood lust will overtake anger and violence
Without warning, lightning strikes in the dark

Lightning strikes
Flash of iron, leather, spikes, and swords
Those mighty warriors with metal on their side
Enemies of metal, your death is our reward
Triumphant victory when you bring the steel to life
Deadly sinners
Victory when you bring the steel to life
Ruling the night, winning the fight
Taking it all right to the end
Winning the night, ruling the fight
Take on last step before you die
Ruling the night, winning the fight
Taking it to the end
