lyrics

Poisoning the girls and boys
Telling fairy tales of Hell
Tucking in the ugly ducks
Blowing kisses under clothes

Blood is in the heartbeat
And blood is on the lips
And blood oaths pacify the sacrificed in cribs and crypts

Covering up daddy's love
Moving to remove the proof
Wetting beds but blaming pets
Playing hide-and-seek each day

Blood is in the alley
And blood is on the walls
And blood red lights paint downtown men unfriendly to their dolls

Witnessing the greatest hits
Using force to crush abuse
Saving faceless waves of waifs
Getting praised; forgetting kids

Blood is in the body
And blood is on the hands
And blood bath facials crave complexions fairest in the land

Stumbling on Gretel's crumbs
Waiting games decide her fate
Blaming God avoids self-shame
Preaching tactics of a leech
