Breathing Blood Lyrics - Singles - Oh, Sleeper

Regaining consciousness under a swinging moon 

He speaks of alliances that beckoned me 

long before the womb 

I've caused more wounds than I'm worth 

I see now you must not have heard 

I am the natural born killer 

There is freedom past your history 

This air won't fill my lungs 

Because you should be breathing blood 

See this death, it was your victory 

So teach me to fill my lungs 

To never stop breathing blood 

But I had it all so very wrong 

But I fought, I fought with only song 

'Cause I've tried, I'm trying like a beast all alone 

My words, my words have aired in poison 

Please teach me how to breathe 

'Cause this air is failing my need 

Fill my lungs with what won't bleed from my enemies 

If death is victory, how afraid of life can we be? 

I'm born a war machine 

Not knowing which beckon to heed 

Will I rise as a tool for glory 

Or be lost in dormancies? 

I've regained consciousness under this swinging moon 

You filled my lungs and each breath heals 

This killer's wounds 

There is freedom past your history 

But this air won't fill my lungs 

You should be breathing blood 

See this death, it was your victory 

So teach me to fill my lungs 

To never stop breathing blood 

'Cause I hear Him speaking to me 

For the first time He cleared my head 

That's when He said 

Only cowards keep dormant sleeping strength 

And soon you'll find 

Only the fearless will reach their potential's peak 

Only cowards keep dormant sleeping strength 

And soon you'll find 

Only the fearless will reach their potential's peak 

Tell me if death is victory, how afraid of life can we be? 

If death is victory how afraid of life can we be?
