Bleed
Gutted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darkness falls and I awaken
With savage hunger for flesh that bleeds

Into the night I hunt for meat
The taste of blood I lust to eat
In search of necks to gouge and bite
Nothing else calms my appetite
Up ahead a place to score
Appears a man and a drunken whore
Neither know what is in store
A blood feast starts this night of gore

The biting and bleeding and drinking and feeling
A peaking and a weakening, the killing is filling

Into the night I hunt for meat
The taste of blood I lust to eat
In search of necks to gouge and bite
Nothing else calms my appetite

All will be turned to me

Bleed for us to live
Join the immortal army
Come unto me
Bleed for us to live

(Solo - Billy)

We will change the world into a mass of immortality
With blood that will be shed from all that lives
None will be spared, all bodies will be turned
You shall give your life unto me

Run cowards, even if you do you'll die
There is no escape from me, now it is time
The biting and bleeding and drinking and feeling
A peaking and a weakening, the killing is filling

All will be turned to me

Bleed for us to live
Join the immortal army




Come unto me
Bleed for us to live
