"Family" lyrics

My son, you never disappoint
You keep us fed and keep them wounded
But I can smell it on the wind
Another heathen they've recruited
This one is different than the rest
She comes in war, she comes like thunder
We'll lose whatever we have left
You must do this for your mother

They're hateful, they're heartless
They say we're the enemy
I'm all that you've got
We are blood, we are family
If you don't strike first
She'll take you away from me

Mother, I will keep you safe
I'll be your eyes and your protector
They have no business in this place
Except to satisfy our hunger
Mother, I will keep you safe (What I love about you, son)
And no, I will not be afraid (You always do as you say)
I'll ruin all that they've created (They mean to take it all away)
I will take it all away (They mean to take it all away)

They're hateful, they're heartless
They say we're the enemy
I'm all that you've got
We are blood, we are family
If you don't strike first
She'll take you away from me
No one is going to take you away from me

I feel it swelling like a storm
It's eye for eye and limb for limb
It's time to end this war
I feel it swelling like a storm
It's eye for eye and limb for limb
It's time to end this

They're hateful, they're heartless
They say we're the enemy
I'm all that you've got
We are blood, we are family
They're hateful, they're heartless
They say we're the enemy
I'm all that you've got
We are blood, we are family
If you don't strike first
They'll take you away from me
No one is going to take you away from me
