Flesh and Blood

Lyrics

Every color on their heads
Flags flying in their eyes
Hands filled with rage
Ears filled with lies
They will meet in the middle
Where the sun bloodies up the sky
They will stay til it's ended
No matter who must die

For the honor, for forgiveness
For the sake of not being wrong
Slinging arrows at convictions
Flesh and blood is not so strong

Every nation draws a line
That only they can cross
And only count their gain
At the other's loss
And all our children have to wonder
If the sun will bloody up their sky
For the sins of the father
The decendents have to die

For the honor, for forgiveness
For the sake of not being wrong
Slinging bullets at convictions
Flesh and blood is not so strong

Trading one life for another
Find redemption, lose your brother
Lose your brother

For the honor, for forgiveness
For the sake of not being wrong
Slinging people at convictions
Flesh and blood is not that strong
We're just flesh and blood
