One By One
Bleeding Through Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Enough is enough
One by one you have failed each other
Betrayed everyone
Betrayed yourself

You left us here to rot
Now one by one
I'm hunting for you

All the promises you'll never keep
Set aflame to all that remains

One be one
I know your dream
I'll smash them all
One by one
I'll bury your industry

One by one

Again and again
Make the rounds
Smell blood in the water





You stalk your prey
Nothing more than selfish intention
