Washed By Blood
Head Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you've tried to satisfy your appetite for too long
You wonder why you are alive
You've lived a lie, for too long
So now you're done, life isn't fun anymore
What's this life for?
These are not only words to a song
Come to me, you're forgiven now
You're washed by Blood, from deep inside
You're not a prisoner of your old life
Washed by Blood, a brand new start
It's time that I rebuild your heart

I paid your price, I sacrificed my human life all for you
Come to the light, you will shine bright
You'll never die
That's the truth, because I have sworn
You'll be reborn, if you choose
What's there to lose?

These are not only words to a song
Come to me, you're forgiven now

You're washed by Blood, from deep inside
You're not a prisoner of your old life
Washed by Blood, a brand new start
It's time that I rebuild your heart

Wash away all the pain with the blood
No more shame
Understand who you are, and what your life is for, for, for
Wash away all the pain with the blood
No more shame
Understand who you are, and what your life is for, for, for

I am taking over from now on
You can't escape, don't even try to run
I can't just sit and watch you die, no more
You will begin to learn what life is for, I've chosen this
Time to change your mind, so you will find your wayback home, where you belong
Your heart of stone, will start to feel

Love, from now on, true
Live for me and you will see your life will be so worry-free
Say goodbye to your old life give me a try
Be alive, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying
There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away
Your washed by Blood - From deep inside - You're not a prisoner of your

You're washed by Blood, from deep inside
You're not a prisoner of your old life
Washed by Blood, a brand new start
It's time that I rebuild your heart

Come fly away with me
Come fly away with me




You know I love you, I love you
Come fly away
