DOWN - Blood Oath Lyrics

DOWN Lyrics

"Blood Oath"

Hold tight
Be well
She's gotta be from Metairie
Night world hold, moonlight glow

Heave off
Roll low
It's thrilling me
Ain't killing me
Nighttime twice, daylight null

Lakeview pall, reaper's son
Will come and become
The sole keeper of a blood oath

We're on a death march in exile

Midnight
One plight
Gentilly breeze, there's sworn to be
Fires bright for evil one

Tempt, yes
Heel, no
Bring forth to thee, Chalmettian dreams
And royal tongues, embellished suns

The Quarter pawns the hellish son
Will come and become
The soul keeper of a blood oath

We're on a death march in exile

We're on a death march in exile

We're on a death march in exile

We're on a death march in exile

"Blood Oath" is the lead single off of DOWN's fifth studio album, "Volume V". The song and its music video were published by Nuclear Blast Records on the 19th of August, 2026. The visual was shot by Mike Holderbeast and Metal Dave Gonzalez.

Philip H. Anselmo told about their new record this song belongs to, "We were all excited about this. There was a sense of lightness in the air. Everyone's attitude was positive. There was more focus than ever. It just felt fresh again. Each one of us was individually striving for something, and I believe we achieved what we wanted to achieve. The record is a journey. It's classic Down, but it's also unique." And he added about "Blood Oath" in particular, "Anybody who's from New Orleans is going to get a kick out of the references to the city. Musically, it's got a big hook. It's a Down song, but it takes a turn."
