We've found a taste for self-destruction A blind eye for blatant dysfunction We've found a taste for self-destruction We're all born in black blood
There's an imminence stirring like a siren singing There's a debt to pay but they keep on drilling Why is simple truth so hard to tell We had eden and turned it into hell
Born in black blood
Because this distance in our minds Is the distance that we're behind I can't forgive, we won't forget I can't forgive, we won't forget
The lonely sound of the final drip Like the starting gun marking the end of it On the shoulders of forever It's a long way to fall Black gold will be the death The death of us all
Black drought, word will spread Of the time we found what the earth bled
Born in black blood
Because this distance in our minds Is the distance that we're behind I can't forgive, we won't forget I can't forgive, we won't forget [x2]
Black drought, word will spread Of the time we found what the earth bled We found the cancer inside of our heads There's no turning back now We're as good as dead
When the well dried up no one cared But when hell shows up, they'll all stop and stare [x2]
We've found the cancer inside of our heads No turning back now We're as good as dead [x2]
