First Blood Lyrics


Blood has soaked this ground.

Eternity has been shed

by corporate interests.

The seas awash with waste

and the air laden

with your poisons, and the stench of your guilt.

This world is burning -

the eternal fires of damnation!

There will soon be nothing left for us!

There will be no sanctity!

They'll keep on drilling

and we're bleeding our earth dry.

We're all set to pay their price

of the falling dollar .

A pound of flesh for a gallon.

A pound of flesh for a fucking gallon!

The black hand has made its mark,

of famine.

Paradise burns, blackened by your hands.

A change of mind is all we need to see the signs,

laid out in stone so long ago. This is all we have:

And all, we'll ever have! And they're taking it away

day by day.

Everything it touches dies -

a cancerous disease.

I've seen your filth, walking the earth, unblemished.

Taking it all...at whose cost?

Paradise burns, blackened by your hands.

We've lost the war against ourselves.

We are nothing but shells of our souls'

true existence .

Of our souls' true existence.
