Blood

[Verse 1] Illusions of freedom, of hope and redemption Seduce the vain, the weak and the well-intentioned Accepting the praise for their own sacrifice For these seven martyrs sainthood is their right [Verse 2] This is the vile bloody manifestation Of Brewer’s anger of her own creation Obedient to commands inside the dream The truth of the under-mission is revealed [Chorus 1] Blood, blood on my hands, the true joy of killing again Everything that they said justifies everything that I did to them I have blood [Verse 3] A slow mutilation they watch and they feel It is unbelievable but it is real Agony and surprise in equal measure Hopeless and consumed by this moment of terror [Verse 4] Familiar and comforting in my control Taking their choices and leaving them cold As gasping and bleeding they plead for their life The beautiful moment that death fills their eyes [Chorus 1] Blood, blood on my hands, the true joy of killing again Everything that they said justifies everything that I did to them [Chorus 2] I have blood, blood on my hands I have absolute power over them They journey to nothing, there is no light and no god that can ever comfort them I have blood [Pembridge:] Tell me about the dark side of Black [Westford:] His wife killed their daughter, then killed herself, while Black was on a covert operation Then he left special forces and became a mercenary During the West Flanders insurrection he became known as the butcher of Wevelgem He killed babies and women and murdered whole families He enjoyed his work Then he disappeared I found him but he thinks he found us He was selected before he applied I believe he will easily accomplish the under-mission [Pembridge:] William Black Captain William Christopher Black It is time for the dream [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo] [Chorus 1] Blood, blood on my hands, the true joy of killing again Everything that they said justifies everything that I did to them [Chorus 2] I have blood, blood on my hands I have absolute power over them They journey to nothing, there is no light and no god can ever comfort them [Outro] I have blood, blood on my hands I have blood, blood on my hands I have blood, blood on my hands I have blood, I have blood, I have blood
