New Blood Songtext
von Bloc Party

I′ve been living too long in the tundra
I've been living too long at sea
And all my loved ones
Forgot about me

So I tame the urge to fight back
Standing up to who I see
I used to be a renegade
But now I′m just me

With this new blood, you'll hear me
I'm making you a deal
I kept my house in order
So I dare you, I dare you, I dare you to rise
They said they′re going to teach me a lesson
They wanna show me how to kneel
I used to be a wild one
But now I′m done


When I brought you an offering of honey
They said you needed blood
And in that moment
I made my choice

Hear my prayer and clear the corners
Let this blood wash away all the sins of all the fathers
Guide my hand and on my honour
I will keep your words alive, I will keep you in my heart

With this new blood, you'll hear me
I′m making you a deal
I kept my house in order
So I dare you, I dare you, I dare you to rise
With this new blood, you'll hear me
I′m making you a deal
I kept my house in order
So I dare you, I dare you, I dare you to rise

I dare you, I dare you, I dare you
To rise
I dare you, I dare you, I dare you
To rise
