The Staves - Blood I Bled Lyrics

The Staves Lyrics

"Blood I Bled"

Come the quickening feet that fall
Come the gathering rain
Suffering as I suffer you
Hearing you speak of pain

If I was
If I am
If I did
If I have

Come the quickening feet that fall
(Hard behind you)
Come the gathering rain
Suffering as I suffer you
(Woe betide you)
Hearing you speak of pain

If I was
If I am
If I did
If I have

Raise your banners and ride to war
(Just and righteous)
Throwing around your name
(Fortune find us)
See the damage of challenge raised
(Just and righteous)
Oh, saddle me with your blame
(Fortune find us)

You cut my roots and now my leaves are dead
They tumble down in pools of all the blood I bled

If I was
If I am
If I ever did
If I ever have

You cut my roots and now my leaves are dead
They tumble down in pools of all the blood I bled
