"Stab Wounds" lyrics

Be the victim or victimize
Wise are the ones who walk in the shadows, disguised
'Cause evil always abides
It hides around corners, waiting to entice us

We are the sons of violent ones
The blood runs from the stab wounds
Are we the sum of all we've done?
The blood runs from the stab wounds

The streets took, but the streets gave
The grit and grime laid the foundation, it paved me
With one foot in the grave
I still stood up, I'm still standing
There's no could've or should've

Some wounds never heal
We will always feel them
Deeper than the steel
Or the glass embedded in me still

The pain, the plight
Darkness to light
Ingrained the fight
Day turns to night

By the gun or by the knife
By the laws of man, there's always sacrifice
Blood on our hands, left to our devices
We should've thought twice

If I repent, will it set us free?
Maybe the sentence will never be served or complete

We are the sons of violent ones
The blood runs from the stab wounds
Are we the sum of all we've done?
The blood runs from the stab wounds

We are the sons of violent ones
The blood runs from the stab wounds
Are we the sum of all we've done?
The blood runs from the stab wounds
