Old Blood Songtext
von Mark E. Moon

They see the glory days of old
They want to turn this clock back
They can′t be moved by logic
They can't be swayed by facts
They think a race war′s coming
And that it's time to act

You told me right to my face when I grew up I would be a man
You told me right to my face that I really had to give a damn
We had a long, long talk about decisions and responsibilities
About standing up for what was right even if it was hurting me

And now I'm growing older
And my hair is starting to grey
This sea is washing over me
I gotta stand up taller
I gotta take the town of the waves
′Cause their lies are taking over here
They′re chanting "blood and soil"
And I can feel a burn in my soul
While this sea is washing over me


They still blame the Jews
They think it's all fake news
And this sea is washing over me
You told me right to my face when I grew up I′d achieve what amounts
To the substance of the man I became, that I should do what counts
We had a long, long talk about selling my unwanted privilege
To help the people on the line not toe the
Line and empathize with those living here

And now I'm growing older
And my face is starting to line
This sea is washing over me
I gotta stand up taller
Be a part of something this time
′Cause their lies are taking over here
They're chanting "blood and soil"
And I can feel a burn in my heart
While this sea is washing over me

The government breaks their backs
Then say to blame the blacks
And this sea is washing over me
They′re chanting "you will not replace us"
Simply clutching pearls won't save us
When the tide is coming in
They got extended necks
They're flying traitor′s flags
Is this how it begins?


They see the glory days of old
They want to turn this clock back
They can′t be moved by logic
They can't be swayed by facts
They think a race war′s coming
And that it's time to act
And this sea is washing over me
