lyrics

In its absence
Our dreams unfulfilled
We who know
the sanctity of blood

We are silenced
The flame extinguished
The value of life not revealed

A song within one’s heart is mute
A ritual without the blood
is untrue

There was a time
When we rode through
The barren land touched by
the hand of god

Where ever we passed
A trail of death
The sanctity of blood revealed

A song within one’s heart is mute
A ritual without the blood
is untrue

Time and again
manifest death
Lust for blood
a mandate from below

Whatever the reason
Now forgotten
Oh how we lived
it was a gift to us

A song within one’s heart is mute
A ritual without the blood
is untrue
