Bloodstone - So It Begins

Empty handed, we enter the world

And with bare feet we leave

Beginnings and ends aren’t what matter most

It’s the journeying that’s in between

We are the wanderers

We are redemption

We are the calloused ones

We are the contagion

We descend with a zealous heart

And ambitious mind

We are the advent youth

Grasping answers through the hands of time

Come ashore from the seas of deception

Take only what removes the veil

For they drink cruelty and feast on temptation

As we push to be a part of this world, doomed to fail

Can we not learn to live?

Can we outswim our sin?

Can we not learn to live?

Can we outswim our sin?

For the fortunate are blind in this paradise lost

We stained the world blood red at what cost?

Empty handed, we enter the world

And with bare feet we leave

Beginnings and ends aren’t what matter most

It’s the journeying that’s in between

Behold the beast that is ignorance

Stomping on the ideals of a better man

Blackened margins hold our doubt

As we wait for the time to run out

Out

We ascend with a darkened heart and calloused mind

Hoping to find the answers

Turning this mortal coil from beginning to end

Desperate to stop the cancer

We can learn to live

We can begin again

Empty handed, we enter the world

And with bare feet we leave

Beginnings and ends aren’t what matter most

It’s the journeying that’s in between

We are the wanderers

We are redemption
