Blood and Sand

lyrics

BLOOD AND SAND
(scotch, blood orange juice, sweet vermouth, cherry heering)

The tide rolling over, flooding my tired gaze
Numb senses, age has caught up with me (dragged out by undertow)
I’m drowning within a shell of skin
Nerves misfire, wave after wave crashing down (embalmed in salt)

Crippled strength of mine
Soon to be taken by time

[chorus]
This lie was meant for me
Made the deal so long ago (I’m drowning!)
Each day, the weight had grown
I am the one... who pays the price!

Deeds of an earnest life, they have no meaning now
No money, no charity can break (the pact I made)

Crippled strength of mine
Soon to be taken by time

I fight with all I can
Against the heavy surge
You will reap what I have sown
Dignity left long ago
While the mind rages on
My limbs have come to rest for good
Sand is all that’s left of my pride
Only blood and sand
