Somebody told you to write in blood
They didn’t know it would be a flood
Were they there when the levee broke
Needed a word that you couldn’t choke on
The curse was more than we bargained for
Didn’t know it would start a war
I didn’t say I want it this way
Wish they could see the light of day
We all need a mantra
Ready to save us
When we are mislead
Make it anthem
Sing it to no one
But play it in your head
Couldn’t save what you never made
So you got lost in the escapade
Something mystic in the devotion
All the fire you were never shown
When the fire burned it was blue and white
The hottest pyre to cut through the night
If I told you would you believe me now?
Just a little blood to renew the vow
