All That I Bleed Lyrics

Someone got themselves a letter
In the mail the other day
It's already worn and tattered
And I guess it gives away

All the things we keep inside
All the things that really matter
A face puts on it's best disguise
And all is well until the heart betrays

She knows as she reads her letter
Things were bound to stray
Winds blow, she pulls her coat tighter
The letter flies away

Of all the things she keeps inside
All the things that really matter
Face puts on it's best disguise
And all is well until the heart betrays

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed

And I'll fly away
Yeah I'll fly away
Lord I'll fly away
Watch me...

Lord bring on the night
Wrap it all around me
Let it hold me tight
Soak up all that I bleed
I bleed

This song was written for Criss Oliva and also for his wife Dawn. If anyone doesnt know Criss was the original guitarist for Savatage. I had the pleasure of knowing him and his brother.

All the things we keep inside All the things that really matter A face puts on it's best disguise And all is well until the heart betrays

this song is powerful...and it makes me cry...

i think it could also be about cutting, self-harm because thr girl has found out something possibly about someone she loved and there's no-one to tell it so she bottles it up inside for so long her feelings have to be vented in some way and that's the way she chooses.

I think it tells the story of a girl who puts on a mask to hide her true feelings for someone, however whaterver is in this letter she recieves from this person has such an affect on her that she can no longer contain her feelings

Someone thought a relationship could happen and it didn't.

OR

A widow recieving a letter of a lost husband in a war.

Could be either, I think it's the former, not the latter, but ehn.

To me, and the above comment, I agree, it's a powerful song, but in my own interpretation, I think it's a promised suicide. As if someone he loved were to receive his suicide note. A few sad song, but nevertheless, one of my favorites

Cover art for All That I Bleed lyrics by Savatage

As far as i know the whole album is about the serbian bosnian war and specifically tells a love story between a serb and a bosnian girl.

My Interpretation

@Salazar no please! cannot believe The only reason i come back to this song is 1 year oneitis of a romance with a bosnian scorpio crazy trash girl who appears once like Slayer fan once like a pianist, who she is.

This is a memory/interpretation comment. First off I think it's about a promised suicide and for a personal reason too. So it was after school and I was listening to this song when my best friends sister walked up to me and handed me a piece of paper, I opened it and inside was a letter, essentially saying why he committed suicide, and all I remember is his sister, hugged me and cried for about 15 minutes on the bus, and I had to stay on the bus until her stop and walk her home. I'll never forget that day and everytime I listen to this song it reminds me of that day.
