Benediction - Blood Has Been Shed

Neglected — forgotten — you were cast aside

Casting stones at an open target

What did you think, that I would just smile and then walk away?

No, that was never in my nature

And it won’t change now

I didn’t leave to teach you a lesson

I left because you never even looked my way

Strange that pain brings my name to your lips

But I am not complaining

Maybe this is the rebirth we always whispered about

The one thing that would bind us together

Start over

Start over

Start over

Start over

Those foreign days will cease to exist to me

I dare you to look past the scope of your vision

In spite of the empty promises

I will not be denied
