[Verse 1]
Seized by stress, hateful energy
Blood is boiling, trying to break free
Temper flares, destruction takes its place
Killing power, uncontrolled disgrace
[Chorus]
Draining the strength from your tired soul
Robbed of your right to relax
Tightening vices taking their toll
Inflicting these deadly attacks
[Refrain]
Hot blood runs cold
[Verse 2]
Death sentence from the day you're born
Pressure curse, your skin is ripped and torn
Veins bulge, your body's glowing red
Hypertension is leaving you for dead
[Chorus]
Draining the strength from your tired soul
Robbed of your right to relax
Tightening vices taking their toll
Inflicting these deadly attacks
[Refrain]
Hot blood runs cold
[Verse 3]
Nervous wreck, hell bent of self-destruction
Can't break apart this arterial obstruction
Cardiac, your rate of pulse increased
Strained heart, you're soon to be deceased
[Chorus]
Draining the strength from your tired soul
Robbed of your right to relax
Tightening vices taking their toll
Inflicting these deadly attacks
[Refrain]
Hot blood runs cold
Hot blood runs cold
