Blood On My Hands
Through Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to survive, searching for some kind of feeling
Am I still alive, give me a sign
If I'm still breathing
Show me a reason
I need some thing to believe in
I've been reaching for truth
So, wash away the blood on my hands
Take my soul, take away all of my sin
Help me escape the anger I feel within
Bring me back again
It's like I'm paralyzed, I'm lost inside
I'm somewhere far behind these walls
Time to break them down
Pull me out, save me now
Wash away the blood on my hands
Take my soul, take away all of my sin
Help me escape the anger I feel within
Bring me back again (back again)
Open my eyes, bring me to life (life)
Wake me up this time, bring me to life (life)
Open my eyes, bring me to life, life, life, life
Wake me up this time, bring me to life (I really am)
Wash away the blood on my hands
Take my soul, take away all of my sin
Help me escape the anger I feel within
Bring me back again
