Blood Diamond Lyrics

Anything to pave the warpath

The beast that never sleeps

The faceless coal, in the machine

Just to feed, what lies beneath

A cold blooded machine of war

Breathe in, breathe out

You’re not safe in your minds now

Your strength, we undermine

Ants bear the mammoth’s weight tonight

White sands turn to crimson red

Flesh worn down

Earth torn back

Spill your blood against the earth

You will pave the way to war

We'll trade this beauty for gore

The way these stones

Glimmer in the light

It's only nature's way

Your blade

Dances in the moonlight

The purest of stones

Admired for their cuts

Predators

Will hunt and prey

It’s only nature’s way

The weak will fear the strong

And fall into line

Predators will feed

I will not be defied

The weak will fear the strong

And fall into line

Predators will feed

Your lives are mine

The way these stones

Glimmer in the light

It's only nature's way

Your blade

Dances in the moonlight

Mother

And Father

I've failed you again

But I'll see you

In the end

And we will walk

Hand in hand

With life made currency

They're cashing out

With your heads on the chopping block

Clear your minds of all doubt

Boulders in the river

You've resisted the flow

Indigo turned crimson

End the pain and let go
