Lyrics
Guide the blade in twist it slowly Let your blood let make you holy That's the mountain self-made men must climb Slash and burn to cleanse the alter Silence bids you work much harder How much red before your robes are white? Why do you have to pay for a clean slate? Why do you have to pay for a clean slate? You'll never make it Pray for leaden skies to come Catch a snowflake on your tongue White fresh fallen covers blood turned brown Trace an angel's shape upon the ground Why do you have to pay for a clean slate? Why do you have to pay for a clean slate? You'll never make it there If you walk another mile You'll see my proud remains You might make it further but you're chasing the same fate Why do you have to pay for a clean slate? You'll never make it there Why do you have to pay for a clean slate? Already been enough bloodshed toda
