Lifeblood
Brand of Sacrifice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Left to drown here
Left to drown

This our eternal sentence
Our descent and our fall
This is our destruction and our hell
Left to drown
Driven out from bliss
Condemned to boundless misery
Can we not be healed?

Desperate for revenge in its purest form
No longer lingering in the shadows
This is an open war

Rise up
Now time to rise from the ashes
Rise up
This is the signal to ascend
There must be blood for us to move forward
Rise up
This is your signal
Rise up

Almighty I will stand
(I will stand)
Swing my blade and demoralize the God Hand
Feel my wrath abhorrent ones
They will fall I will be left as one
Now anger and vengeance
Have caused a perpetual fire within
Unholy ones
This will be your extinction

Desperate for revenge in its purest form
No longer lingering in the shadows
I must arise or spill my lifeblood
(Lifeblood)
I must arise
For I am determined

Rise up
Now time to rise from the ashes
Rise up
This is the signal to ascend
There must be blood for us to move forward
Rise up
This is your signal
Rise up

There is no time for despair
I′ve tried to reason
I've tried to believe
That my victory ensures you′re no longer suffering
(I will see this through)

You are my lifeblood
You are my lifeblood
Rise up
Now time to rise from ashes
Rise up
This is the signal to ascend
Lifeblood
You are my lifeblood
Rise up
Now time to rise from ashes




Rise up
This is the signal to ascend
