There Will Be Blood
Bloodred Hourglass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

stop the randomize
time to prioritize
so lost in this chapter
locks and seals were broken
gates of hell wide open
greatly to unleash
the emptiness in me
ripping it through the madness
living a masquerade
reality outlined
blame is for the chosen
careless heart of frozen
who felt no shame
on hopeless days

walk through the darkness
and dance with me
eyes of perfection staring me
careful, the traitor will heal
rise to the madness
come play with me
far from the wisdoms of the world
there's no escape in me

now
there will be blood

the crest of filth and violent cruelty
has collapsed

cover the eyes you coward
nothing for you to see here
on the hands of reduction
inhale this final breeze

walk through the darkness
and dance with me
eyes of perfection staring me
careful, the traitor will heal
rise to the madness
come play with me
far from the wisdoms of the world
there's no escape in me

there will be blood

i keep running terror
out of human error
a serpent made of bones
and my head explodes

there will be blood

countless days
been born again
my hands covered in blood
daylight goes
my eyes are closed and
i - know - there will be blood

circle around soul complete
misery lays me on knees
my head explodes

i wish your faces
disintegrated
but they all come back to me
i am crawling in shapeless silence
i will carry my tears to be shed




as the world will carry on - carry me home
but there will be blood

The chorus, "Walk through the darkness and dance with me, eyes of perfection staring me, careful, the traitor will heal, rise to the madness, come play with me, far from the wisdoms of the world, there's no escape in me, now there will be blood," seems to suggest that the singer is inviting someone to join them in their darkness.
