Blood for Blood

Had I seen the melting snow?

I saw and trembled

For this a power I did not know

Though I was bound with chains

She was cruel but beautiful

And I was greedy

And like a slave I then was sold

By the way she said my name

Father, save me!

I the traitor

I who knew and ran from Love

I can hear the

Condemnation

In the rhythm of the drums

Though I knew all hope was lost

And this what I deserved

I had been conquered by the frost

But on my skin it burned

Cause she had power over me

At her touch I turned to stone

But in her eyes I saw a fear

A deeper magic than her own

Father, save me!

I the traitor

I who knew and ran from Love

I can hear the

Condemnation

In the rhythm of the drums

And when I looked him in the eyes

I felt the weight of all my sin

For I knew what the law required

A death for death, a traitor’s end

But when I thought I feel his wrath

Despaired and filled with shame

He bent down to search my eyes

With such love whispered my name

Father, save me!

I the traitor

I who knew and ran from Love

Father, can you

Hear the Lion

It is written

Blood for blood
