Lyrics for Blood

Silence slights spirits of those gone to the night But what was the cost? Do I justify the loss? When a loss of control would be digging myself a hole? It couldn't be worth it I'm a killer, I'm a killer, I'm a killer But I've been killing myself all along Had I done my best to protect innocence Or did I lead the wolf to the fawn? Watch your words, keep them from bothering the herd Provoking the stones that they all can throw No, I won't carry on living this life that I stole It just isn't worth it I'm a killer, I'm a killer, I'm a killer But I've been killing myself all along Divining the right from the wrong Had I done my best to protect innocence Or was something more wicked in store? Is there villainy inside of me? In search of worth, have I burned the Earth? There's no passion in being passive And no inaction could bring an answer So for you, I am a killer
