Bloodhail Lyrics
[Verse]
I feel the top of the roof come off
Kill everybody there
And I'm watching all the stars burn out
Trying to pretend that I care
[Chorus]
But I didn't, no one ever does
And I would, no one ever will
Can't you see it's all flown out of my hands?
And our clothes are all too often ripped
And our teeth are all too often gnashed
And it lasts as long as it possibly can
[Post-Chorus]
But I just don't
But I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
But I just don't
But I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
And I just don't
And I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
And I just don't
And I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
I feel the top of the roof come off
Kill everybody there
And I'm watching all the stars burn out
Trying to pretend that I care
[Chorus]
But I didn't, no one ever does
And I would, no one ever will
Can't you see it's all flown out of my hands?
And our clothes are all too often ripped
And our teeth are all too often gnashed
And it lasts as long as it possibly can
[Post-Chorus]
But I just don't
But I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
But I just don't
But I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
And I just don't
And I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
And I just don't
And I just don't accept this
I just don't accept this at all
[Bridge]
Faces sweaty, arms and legs
What a glorious set of stairs we make
Faces sweaty, arms and legs
What a glorious set of stairs we make
Faces sweaty, arms and legs
What a glorious set of stairs we make
Faces sweaty, arms and legs
We kill everyone with
Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads
Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads
Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads
Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads

I feel the top of the roof come off
Kill everybody there
(Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads)
(Thank God that's over)
(Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads)
(Thank God that's over)
As I'm watching all the stars burn out
Trying to pretend that I care
(Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads)
(Thank God that's over)
Faces sweaty, arms and legs
What a glorious set of stairs we make
Faces sweaty, arms and legs
What a glorious set of stairs we make

Faces sweaty, arms and legs
We kill everyone with

[Chorus]
But I didn't, no one ever does
And I would, no one ever will
Can't you see it's all flown out of my hands?
(Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads)
(Thank God that's over)
And our clothes are all too often ripped
And our teeth are all too often gnashed
(Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads)
And it lasts as long as it possibly can
But I didn't, no one ever does
And I would, no one ever will
Can't you see it's all flown out of my hands?
(Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads)
(Thank God that's over)
And our clothes are all too often ripped
And our teeth are all too often gnashed
(Arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads, arrowheads)
And it lasts as long as it possibly can

This song describes the human capacity for indifference and is a (word for word, occasionally) reference to one of Antiochus' lectures in the booklet that came with the album.
The song is also a description of the Hunter, also mentioned in the booklet and in a later song in the album, carelessly letting loose a flurry of arrows to kill God.
