Break down the weirs in the brooks

Crush the bulwarks of my soul

Let the rapids run white and foaming

The bad blood cut off my ears

The bad blood blinded my eyes

The bad blood choked up my mouth



Draw the poison from my veins

Let out the bad blood in me

Let the stream run golden and true

Let out the bad blood in me



Drive away the bad and the ugly

Divert the dreary dregs

Pierce a stream that rushes anew

I can't see my path

I don't hear your voice

I have forgotten my song



Draw the poison from my veins

Let out the bad blood in me

Let the stream run golden and true

Let out the bad blood in me



Bleed out the dross and the dead

Bleed out the dross and the dead



The bad blood cut off my ears

The bad blood blinded my eyes

The bad blood choked up my mouth



Draw the poison from my veins

Let out the bad blood in me

Let the stream run golden and true

Let out the bad blood in me



Bleed out the dross and the dead

Bleed out the dross and the dead
