Lyrics
There is Blood in my brother's eyes,
There is blood in my brother's eyes.
So he can't see,
He's just the same as me.
And there's blood in my brother's eyes.
Now, there's BLOOD ON MY BROTHER'S HANDS.
Yes, there's blood on my brother's hands.
And people die.
He'll never wonder why.
'Cause there's blood on my brother's hands.
[Bridge]
And here I am still stuck in this movie.
We play ten trillion times,
And each time it's the same.
For every deed you do unto me,
I do unto you too,
And then we change our names,
Leaving blood on all of our hands.
Can you wash blood off your own two hands?
You hurt yourself,
When you hurt someone else,
Leaving blood on you own two hands
[verse-solo]
[Bridge]
Some people say some people are trying,
To lead the blind out of the darkness to the light.
And some tell me: "This world is dying."
When all is said and done,
Will you say you did right?
If there's blood on your brother's hands,
Wash that blood off your brother's hands.
You help yourself,
When you help someone else,
Wash that blood off their brother's hands,
Off your brother's hands.
