"Innocent Blood" lyrics

Steady hands, holding them down
Anguished screams, in this forest drowns
Full moon shines, and their end is nigh
Sharpened blades, hungrily awaits the flesh

Serrated steel, will cut them up
Blackened soil, awaits their blood
We will purge, all that is corrupt

Remove all that is pure, before it rots
Remove all that is pure, before it rots

Innocent blood will wash away all of us
The souls of a dying will purify all of us

Innocent blood will wash all the guilt
All the guilt, all the guilt that we never felt

Though their lives might be short in years
This is no time for grief or for tears
They are being freed from a world of sin
Being freed from the curse of living
Freed from the fate of rotting from within
We will set them free, so the end it can begin

The blade plunges in, the blood pours out
Wide-open eyes, catch a last glimpse of light
We will claim your youth, we have seen the truth
We will set them free, this is how it has to be

We will claim your youth, we have seen the truth
We will set them free, this is how it has to be

We will set them free

Blackened soil, awaits their blood

Innocent blood will wash all the guilt
All the guilt, all the guilt that we never felt

Though their lives might be short in years
This is no time for grief or for tears
They are being freed from a world of sin
Being freed from the curse of living
Freed from the fate of rotting from within
We will set them free, so the end it can begin
