There Will Be Blood

I thought the war was over
I was wrong and you were right
Ate all the crumbs you gave me
Drank all the sour wine

I thought the war was over
I saw the treaty signed
But you're dusting off your toy tin soldiers
Telling me to choose a side

I'm standing in the red rain
Trying to mend a broke wing
Like a fallen dove
Crash-landed in your gold cage
I learned the hard way
There will be blood

This time there will be blood
This time there will be trouble
From deep down in the cut
I know the hangman's coming

No kindness from crowd
No mercy from the judge
You hold me like a grudge
That's close enough
This time there will be blood

(This time there will be blood)

I thought we stopped the fighting
Brokered a peace accord
But you're just a werewolf in hiding
Quiet 'til the mad moon turns you on

I'm not sitting pretty
Waiting for the ugly truth
To come knocking when you leave me
Stitching up another wound

Guess I'm tired of your red rain
Washing away wet paint
That's supposed to cover rust
Can't tell a hacksaw from a handshake
But when needle hits dark vein
I know there will be blood

This time there will be blood
This time there will be trouble
From deep down in the cut
I know the hangman's coming

No kindness from crowd
No mercy from the judge
Don't bring the fire
Forget the flood
This time there will be blood

(There will be blood)

Quit playing innocent
On your well-tempered instrument
With your smooth criminal intent
You're obvious you're out for blood

Quit playing innocent
It doesn't suit you, sister
A little pressure breaks the skin
Push hard enough
There will be blood

There will be blood

Push hard enough
