Now there is a line in Genesis 9, after the flood, kill men who shed the blood.
Sharp is your needle, revenge is evil - wrong or right.
Blind as a justice, cold as a Juda's kiss, dark is the night.

Chorus:
Dead petals falling on the bed, white crosses hanging overhead, deep is the final breath, long is a man's death.
Dead petals falling on the bed, white crosses hanging overhead, deep is the final breath, long is a man's death.

Thou shalt not kill, cry from Calvary's hill, but a soul is a soul, as we slaughter our own.
Locked in a cage, and guns at our heads, singing gospels of rage, saying they're better off dead.

One wick of the skin, wipes away sin, an eye for an eye, it's our hearts we're losin'.

CHORUS (7x).
