American Steel

Bloody Murder

Hidden tombs and solitude
Hunger strikes or belly aches
Handcuffed pines and crossed picket lines
Sacrifice is a tear away

Barren plans, buried two fingers beneath the sand
Overdoses or body shakes
A wet dream for a dry spell
Addiction is a tear away

When the boom's a bust and profit's gone
By war cry or swan song
We'll be here like before and evermore
Nothing to lose is a tear away

Obese and unnatural
And wearied of the weight
Sacred heart or blessed fall
Salvation is a tear away

Oh, bloody murder, bloody murder
Suicide pact the world over
Bloody murder

Suicide pact the world over
Stillborn slaves can't fill mass graves
Sooner than their share has been reserved

Peasant mobs and kings for a day
Your loves are fleeting when so unjust
For bleeding hearts drain fast with steadfast lust
Sobs for tyranny are a tear away

Oh, bloody murder, bloody murder
Suicide pact the world over
Bloody murder
