Blood Songtext
von Sonata Arctica

At first you kindle life
You place it in a man
This man, he has a heart
That's filled with fire!

The man will have a wife
The wife creates the home
They multiply and so
Their hearts are filled with fear

(So!) The man creates a wall
He arms, defends them all
This fear becomes his fall

"Blood is a bodity fluid in animals that"
"Delivers necessary substances such as"
"Nutrients and oxygen to the cells and"
"Transports metabolic waste products"
"Away from those same cells"

The color of life and arrow of fear made flow
Auburn rivers in the snow dance the death
Of fading peace of mind


Kept awake by the night
Of the twilight's cold, sad sweeps
What the child of Orion
Has sown his cubs will reap
The fire is out
And there's an ominous silence
But he can see them in the dark
Under the moon, the shadows find them

Wolf stares in your eyes
Blink first and die
Beauty and fear
(Of wolves and of people)

There's a cave on the hills in the woods not so far away
Never once had he seen the descent of majestic gray coming this way

Now he can see those blue eyes
Burning through the darkened night
He knows the fur, he used to love her

Ready or not, there will be blood!
Life is a gift you have no lease for anymore!
There will blood!
You will buy our blood with your own blood!
You will buy our blood with your own blood!
The last thing you'll see is a

Wolf, it stares in your eyes
Blink first and die
Beauty and fear within


Who's more of a beast
A king or a priest?
What do you believe?

Wolves or the people things we fear
Wolves or the people
Wolves fear the fear of the people
Think, how one fearful man can destroy this world

At first you kindle life, you place it in a man
This man, he has a heart that's filled with fire

The man will have a wife, the wife creates the home
They multiply and so, their hearts are filled with fear

Maybe men cannot live when their hearts
Are not filled with fire instead of love
For fear is a powerful thing
Maybe only the might and the power of fear maintains our life
We function when it's controlled by denial

The wolf in your eyes blinks first and dies
Beauty and fear– the wolves and the people

Those hills have no eyes, but they hear your cries
Beauty and fear, the blood, the wolves and the people
