| Bad blood, rivers run dry | |
| Thunder comes and the children cry bad blood | |
| Never can change, no one here to blame | |
| Bad blood, older than time | |
| Followed me down from my fathers tribe | |
| Bad blood, making me shake | |
| Running through my veins, bad blood | |
| Too many questions, so many unanswered times | |
| Most times the finger points at me | |
| In my confusion, might slip and cross the line | |
| I'm not to blame for all you see | |
| You can't help me it's in my soul | |
| Pray for mercy, nowhere else to go | |
| Repeat chorus : | |
| In my confession, i swear and cross my heart | |
| I stand before you what i am | |
| Gunpowder ready, just waiting for a spark | |
| And those before me understand | |
| Please protect me, keep me safe | |
| Heaven help me, save me from this fate | |
| Repeat chorus : | |
| Swimming hard and fast | |
| Against the time | |
| Lost in a flood | |
| Of ancient fire | |
| Repeat chorus : |
