By The Blood
Drowning Pool Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see my demons at night
They whisper in my ear
They say everything will be alright
Burn with me, don't you feel no fear!

One shot, to take away the sting
And I don't care about one damn thing!
One shot, may whatever bring
And I don't care about one damn thing!

You know I come from dirt
You will remember me by the blood
By the blood by the blood on your shirt
You know I come from dirt
You will remember me by the blood
By the blood by the blood!

I still see it every now and then
The ghost of forgotten faith
With too few fingers for these sins
I can still spell my goddamn name

One shot, to take away the sting
And I don't care about one damn thing!
One shot, may whatever bring
And I don't care about one damn thing!

You know I come from dirt
You will remember me by the blood
By the blood by the blood on your shirt
You know I come from dirt
You will remember me by the blood
By the blood by the blood!

When I die i'll die and have no regrets
When you die
You'll die and this world will forget
(yeah, yeah)

One shot, to take away the sting
And I don't care about one damn thing!
One shot, may whatever bring
And I don't care about one damn thing!

You know I come from dirt
You will remember me by the blood
By the blood by the blood on your shirt
You know I come from dirt
You will remember me by the blood
By the blood by the blood!

You will remember you will remember
You will remember me





By the blood! By the blood!

No matter how many singers they go through they keep their sound.

Soheib kidouche

Thats why i think they are the best band from the nu metal scene. They have something original in their sound that they kept in each album, including cj pierce wah with phaser effects

Stephen-John Jacobs

Drowning Pools finally back with tracks that would make Dave proud!

Non Lo So

Bullshit, despite Jasen Moreno is a very good singer, the real Legend was Dave Williams... this song has a good sound, but you cannot compare this with songs like Sinner, Reminded, or like BODIES and THE GAME (WWE HHH's old Entry)

It's about time they go back to their roots... I haven't kept up with these guys in over a decade because I felt like they totally sold themselves out and left their root behind. Glad to see their sound alive again!
