Nothing but Blood Lyrics


Morning dew and beams of the sunrise

This is life! I’m one with the landscape

We’re on the hunt, just like our ancestors

Seal the bond between man and beast alike

Such silence, the moment is shattered by a helpless scream

Nothing but blood

United through the ties of common faunal bloodlines

Nothing but blood

A line of heritage woven through the fabric of life

Out of breath, and now paralyzed by the stunning sight of a brown bear so fearsome

Its cornered prey -- a scavenging pilgrim

Pounding heart, adrenaline starts to course

Your moment, your window of opportunity to shine

Nothing but blood

I step between the two and stare the creature down

Nothing but blood

My blade is shimmering as the bear begins to charge

Flowing, the wounds of myself and the bear flow

You can’t tell whose blood belongs to who

The soil is steaming

It’s drinking deep the blood

A heaving, a straining

The wall of bones and fur falls down

Nothing but blood

My sword becomes a cane as I survey the carnage

Nothing but blood

The pilgrim has his life, but have I still the strength to lead?

Antioch -- I’m grievously wounded

“Rest, lord! Your men will wait for you to recover”
