From the recording Blossom & Decay
Lyrics
There's blood on my hands
And a ringing in my head
I killed a man
And I made damn sure he was dead
My only salvation just walked away
Leaving me thoughts of yesterday
There's a fire in my home
Let it burn through brick and steel
There's an aching in my bones
I haven't yet began to feel
And the dead man now holds the only key
And the candle that lit the way home for me
It's an eye for an eye
Ain't that the way it always goes?
Who's after mine?
You're the only one that knows
Beauty and forgiveness wait just outside
Way out past the great divide
There's blood on my hands
There's blood on my hands
There's blood on my hands
There's blood on my hands
