G Bm D
at first you kindle life , you place it in a man
A
this man , he has a heart . . . that’s filled with fire
G Bm D
the man will have a wife , the wife creates the home
A G
they multiply and so , their hearts are filled with fear
Bm D
the man creates a wall , he arms , defends them all
A
this fear becomes his fall

( Bm )
“blood is a bodily fluid in animals that
( D )
delivers necessary substances such as
( Bm )
nutrients and oxygen to the cells and
( D )
transports metabolic waste products away from those same cells . ”

A G
the color of life an arrow of fear made flow
Em G A F#m G Bm
auburn rivers in the snow dance the death of fading peace of mind

( Bm ) D
kept awake by the night of the twilight’s cold , sad weeps
Bm D
what the child of orion has sown his cubs will reap
A G
the fire is out , and there’s an ominous silence
Em G A F#m G
but he can see them in the dark , under the moon , the shadows find them

G Bm
wolf – stares in your eyes
D
blink first and die
A
beauty and fear , of wolves and of people

Bm D
there’s a cave on the hills in the woods not so far away
Bm D A
never once had he seen the descent of majestic gray coming his way

now he can see those blue eyes burning through the darkened night

he knows the fur , he used to love her . . .

ready or not , there will be blood

life is a gift you have no lease for anymore , there will blood

you will buy our blood with your own blood

you will buy our blood with your own blood

the last thing you’ll see is a wolf

it stares in your eyes , blink first and die

who’s more of a beast , a king or a priest?

what do you believe?
