Blood of the Zodiac - Machine Head

A blind man

Asked an angel

«Could you please help?»

But was told

«Take me

From this altar

And I won’t falter

But I might fall.»

This bitter man would understand

Through all his life a needle had

Been his savior

Been his God

So he tried to make a change

Tried to rearrange

Gun at his side

Suicide

I can’t help feel I’ve been mistreated

Won’t you listen to me?

Despise

All that I see

All that I feel

All that I want to be

Burned

Blistered and raw

Tearing apart

All that is sane to me

A wise man

Half pariah

Half messiah

Came to seed

Rain down

Blood like fire

Born to sire

Racist breed

His dominance of ignorance

Was rhetoric that made no sense

Some believed in all the lies

But in my mind I know what’s wrong

Way too fucking strong

Taste the revenge on my tongue

I can’t help feel I’ve been mistreated

Won’t you listen to me?

Despise

All that I see

All that I feel

All that I want to be

Burned

Blistered and raw

Tearing apart

All that is sane to me

And now is my time to rise

And now is my time to rise

And now is my time to rise

And now is my time to rise

And now is my time to rise

And now is our time to rise

Our time

To rise

Ignorant

Indignant

Promises

Made in vain

Ignorant

Indignant

Promises

Made in vain

Rise, I can’t see like you

Rise, I can’t feel like you

Rise, never be like you

Rise, time for all us to

Rise

Rise

Rise

Rise
