Self Portraits Of The Instincts Lyrics

By burden of blood we saw reflections of who we are

As the knowledge that burns in our hearts takes charge



Blessings made at a house in the distance

An unworthy authority looking to find a worthy culprit

Accounting lost, stranded hindsight, wirds were not enough

Repeat the cycle with devils in your veins



More than simply shaken, a line divides

Blood ties are forsaken, grudges still are found



In kindred we are bound

By burden of blood we saw reflections of who we are

As the knowledge that burns in our hearts takes charge



So deep in our blood, ages come, ages go, never freed

Never, that's what you told me

Time and again we have them down on their knees

Beg for mercy, beg, time and again

How many times, how many times will I be called to free this rage?

How many times, how many times will I be taken to that place?



No peace of mind until the seas run dry

By burden of blood we saw reflections of who we are

As the knowledge that burns in our hearts takes charge



Forced to inflict these scars, reflections of who we are

A legacy carried on too long
