Bloodline - Downpresser

Saw the path laid out for you

Turned away from what they wanted you to do

Cast out, still hurting

Some lessons aren’t worth learning

Never bought it, never believed

They laughed, called you naïve

You clenched your jaw, you clenched your fists

No choice but to resist

You define, you define the bloodline

Born out of the scorn of mankind

We define, we define the bloodline

They don’t matter, pay don’t mind

For years you hid your face

Too low to fall from grace

Clinging to a scrap of faith

Hoping someone out there relates

You’ve seen the weakness devour

You’ve watched them leech our power

Eaters of consciousness

Shut them down, show them we resist

When to stop, when to keep trying

When to talk, when to keep silent

When to laugh it off when you’re not smiling

Common sense

You’re one of a kind, no denying

If they say you’re not, they’re lying

Still standing back to back

Steadfast, built to outlast

Don’t need an end to justify the means

This is where I’ll be through ups and downs and in-betweens

I swear this oath 'til I’m resting in the earth

The bloodline, we define, the last shall be the first
