Blood for Blood Songtext
von Sarah Sparks

Had I seen the melting snow?
I saw and trembled
For this a power I did not know
Though I was bound with chains
She was cruel but beautiful
And I was greedy
And like a slave I then was sold
By the way she said my name
(Ah ah ah)

Father, save me, I the traitor
I who knew and ran from love
I can hear the condemnation
In the rhythm of the drums


And though I knew all hope was lost
And this what I deserved
I had been conquered by the frost
And on my skin it burned
But she had power over me
And at her touch I turned to stone
But in her eyes I saw a fear
A deeper magic than her own
La da da da da da da

Father, save me, I the traitor
I who knew and ran from love
I can hear the condemnation
In the rhythm of the drums

When I looked him in the eyes
Felt the weight of all my sin
For I knew what the law required
A death for death, the traitor′s end
But when I thought I'd feel his wrath
Despaired and filled with shame
He bent down to search my eyes
And with such love whispered my name


Father, save me, I the traitor
I who knew and ran from love
Father, can you hear the lion?
It is written blood for blood
Father, save me, I the traitor
I who knew and ran from love
Father, can you hear the lion?
It is written blood for blood
