[Chorus:] Bad blood, rivers run dry Thunder comes and the children cry, bad blood Never can change, no one here to blame Bad blood, older than time Followed me down from my father's tribe Bad blood, making me shake Running through my veins, bad blood
Too many questions, so many unanswered times Most times the finger points at me In my confusion, might slip and cross the line I'm not to blame for all you see You can't help me, it's in my soul Pray for mercy, nowhere else to go
[Chorus]
In my confession, I swear and cross my heart I stand before you what I am Gunpowder ready, just waiting for a spark And those before me understand Please protect me, keep me safe Heaven help me, save me from this fate
[Chorus]
I'm swimming hard and fast Against the time Lost in a flood Of ancient fire
