Blood Red (America) - The Call

Did we ask for trouble

When we asked for breath

A silent witness put to the test

In a frozen moment

An offering made

Foreign rumors live to this day

Sing oh… yeah

Do you feel protected

Inside white walls

A world neglected heads for a fall

A fate suspended

Each day is a gift

A world offended — God, what is this

He says, «We'll walk in the front door

And proudly raise our heads»

I say man you must be joking

Our hands are covered in blood red

You’ve got a way that’s easy

The territory’s marked

Hurl us backwards — back to the start

A cool deception

A gifted tongue

Nations falling down, down, down

He says, «We'll walk in the front door

And proudly raise our heads»

I say you must be foolin'

Our hands are covered in blood red

I see you standing

Beneath the tree

Your hands uplifted, on bended knee

In a fateful hour

You hear another voice

I must remember what was my choice

He says, «I am the one

The one for you.»

A look in your eyes can tell me

What to do

I feel ecstatic

I feel transformed

More than conquered down to the bone

He says, «We'll walk in right through heaven’s door

And proudly raise our heads»

I say man you must be dreaming

Our hands are covered blood red

They’re covered blood red
