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
