Seventh Heaven? Baptized in Blood

Baptized in the blood of a lamb
Drowning under the weight of salt
Crushed by the power of light
And here I am, here I stand

A marked generation to fire
But today is not the same
Told stand down, never fight
In his blood I bathe, in his blood I bathe

No matter what you say, WHAT YOU SAY
No matter what you say, GAMES YOU PLAY
WHAT YOU SAY… JUST GAMES
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
It's all the same

For I'm drowning under the weight of salt
And I'm dying from the inside out
I won’t be you because I know
What this blood about, What this blood about

No matter what you say, I AM NOT YOU
No matter what you say, I WON’T BE YOU
WHAT YOU SAY… JUST GAMES
NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY
It's all the same

Notes: Brad Beneke and I had been readers of each other's blog; and I loved to tease Brad that he's my angry friend. Some day we will meet since he's only two hours away, but he asked me if I could finish a song that he thought he had a Screamo Punk Christian band going to cover and it fell thru. I believe this song I didn't edit much of the lyrics except for maybe eliminating some lines. I never thought I would ever be a Screamo kind of guy, and I do think that ultimately a Screamo band could cover it. At least now they know how an old fart who sounds like Johnny Cash would cover it. HA.
