Under the blood

Contradiction is the word
Which best suits this life
A life of right and wrong
Where wrong is twisted into right
The heart is exploding
And the mind is racing
And we find ourselves
Running out of human breath

The stale life of routine
Wavers and stagnates
And we experiment and toil
In the fertile ground
The answers are seldom
Given to unpopular questions
Justify our hearts by what
We selfishly hope to achieve

I will live my life
Under the blood
I will live my life

All signs point deliberately
The other way
The road is slow and misery
Will be our company
For to find true peace
In this life we must forsake
All reason and cleave to god's faith

I will live my life
Under the blood
I will live my life

Peace comes from above
I have found no other
If we remove ourselves from that hope
Can love truly prevail?

I will live my life
Under the blood
I will live my life
Under the blood
