"[welcome to bloodletting]" lyrics

Welcome to the bloodletting
There will be no forgiving
There will be no forgetting
Only pain
Only rage
You must not look away
You will come to learn that these things too are sacred
I must warn you, should you take this path
You will be marked for exile and cast out by those whose peace was bought with your silence
May you have the strength to withstand everything you will lose
May you find the courage to stand and finally speak the truth
Before we begin, I must ask you
Do you want to live or do you want to die?
Because to live you must allow yourself to feel everything that you have kept inside
For that is the price that must be paid to finally feel alive
Welcome to the bloodletting
There will be no forgiving
There will be no forgetting
