Blood Diamond
Anything to pave the warpath
The beast that never sleeps
The faceless coal, in the machine
Just to feed what lies beneath
A cold blooded machine of war
Breathe in, breathe out
You're not safe in your minds now
Your strength, we undermine
Ants bear the mammoth's weight tonight
White sands turn a crimson red
Flesh worn down
Earth torn back
Spill your blood against the earth
You will pave the way to war
We'll trade this beauty for gore
The way that these stones
Glimmer in the light
It's only nature's way
Your blade
Dances in the moonlight
The purest of stones
Admired for their cuts
Predators
Will hunt and prey
It's only nature's way
The weak will fear the strong
And fall into line
Predators will feed
I will not be defied
The weak will fear the strong
And fall into line
Predators will feed
Your lives are mine
The way that these stones
Glimmer in the light
It's only nature's way
Your blade
Dances in the moonlight
The purest of stones
Admired for their cuts
Mother
And Father
I've failed you again
But I'll see you
In the end
And we will walk
Hand in hand
With life made currency
They're cashing out
With your head on the chopping block
Clear your minds of all doubt
Boulders in the river
You've resisted the flow
Indigo turned crimson
End the pain and let go
The beast that never sleeps
The faceless coal, in the machine
Just to feed what lies beneath
A cold blooded machine of war
Breathe in, breathe out
You're not safe in your minds now
Your strength, we undermine
Ants bear the mammoth's weight tonight
White sands turn a crimson red
Flesh worn down
Earth torn back
Spill your blood against the earth
You will pave the way to war
We'll trade this beauty for gore
The way that these stones
Glimmer in the light
It's only nature's way
Your blade
Dances in the moonlight
The purest of stones
Admired for their cuts
Predators
Will hunt and prey
It's only nature's way
The weak will fear the strong
And fall into line
Predators will feed
I will not be defied
The weak will fear the strong
And fall into line
Predators will feed
Your lives are mine
The way that these stones
Glimmer in the light
It's only nature's way
Your blade
Dances in the moonlight
The purest of stones
Admired for their cuts
Mother
And Father
I've failed you again
But I'll see you
In the end
And we will walk
Hand in hand
With life made currency
They're cashing out
With your head on the chopping block
Clear your minds of all doubt
Boulders in the river
You've resisted the flow
Indigo turned crimson
End the pain and let go
