Lyrics for Idle Blood

You there the bringer of my despair You are stagnation of hope and will Oh you personify loss and remorse And you hide until my fear reappears The love for life once bright (Out of sight) A burning fuse The only flame I have Fate's spiral down this curve (Shall only serve) The seeds growing my misery These wounds kill time My struggle sublime Idle the blood A black state of mind All dreams left behind You claim to be my long absent friend You are the cancer that just moved in You come with the dark night of the soul But I am turning my back on you You know I do The love for life once bright (Out of sight) A burning fuse The only flame I have Fate's spiral down this curve (Shall only serve) The seeds growing my misery These wounds kill time My struggle sublime Idle the blood A black state of mind All dreams left behind Eye of the blind Oh the black state of mind All my dreams left behind
