Blood Red Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Peaceful confrontation, meet war machine
Seizing all civil liberties
Honest ballotation among banshee
Spilling blood on humanity
[Chorus]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
The massacre of innocent people
[Verse 2]
Deviated lies, fear blinds your eyes
Enforcing their truth through a gun

[Chorus]

Oppression ruled by bloodshed

Stains the primitive sickle
Blood red

Spilling blood throughout humanity
[Chorus]
You cannot hide the face of death
Oppression ruled by bloodshed
No disguise can deface evil
Stains the primitive sickle
Blood red
