Sharp as a blade, I can strike into action

Call the syndicate, we shall seek satisfaction

I′ve been living and fighting in this war of lifeBut it doesn't matter how hard I try

While heroes die, new tyrants rise

As the totem glows

Voices welcome me home

Every word you say on a throne of lies

That fail to come to my surprise

Nations fall

My fireworks fly

Blood is the only way

(Paint the blue skies red)

Injustice I′ll repay

Leave them out for dead

I keep my friends close, and enemies closer

History repeats itself over and over

I've forgotten how all the flowers smell

The beauty they hold, I cannot tell

It all begins

When I ring the bell

Blood is the only way

(Paint the blue skies red)

Injustice I'll repay

Leave them out for dead

La-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

Ooh-ooh (la)

Still my withering heart

Yearns for peace and mercy

But I′m ready for revolution now

So let the blood stain the ground

Burn it down

And take the crown

Blood is the only way

(Paint the blue skies red)

Injustice I′ll repay

Leave them out for dead
