With blood stained hands they begin to draw the past

A drop slides down their wrist and disconnects now falling fast

Their sins now rain down upon our souls

Blood rising, we're drowning, taking the toll

Coldest chills freeze

Great wind settles to a gentle breeze

Deaf ear left to listen to broken pleas
