Hand of Blood Lyrics

There goes my valentine again
I'm soaked in red for what she said
And now she's gone!

Oh my God, have I done it again?
There's a pulse and it's deafening
I can't help what I hear in my head
It's the switch that I flip (they said)

(Hand of Blood!)
I don't wanna feel
My heart is breaking
(Hand of Blood!)
I don't wanna see
My life is burning

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing?
(I saw you run!) I saw you run away,
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?

There's a stain on my hand and it's real
Oh my God, am I losing it?
I can't help what I've done or I've seen
It's the button I push (they said)

(Hand of Blood!)
I don't wanna feel
My heart is breaking
(Hand of Blood!)
I don't wanna see
My life is burning

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing?
(I saw you run!) I saw you run away,
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing?
(I saw you run!) I saw you run away,
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing?

It's a song about the pure mental emotion and anger someone can make you feel when it all fucks up. Probably about all the shit that goes on in your head when someone messes you about...

Absolutely love the riffs and solo's

Fucking incredible song. Bring back this kind of metal. They are awesome live, don't surpass the chance to see them! I agree with beni_ffaf, it's about anger and emotion. I'm surprised no-one's thought about the obvious surface meaning...murder. I think it's about a guy who's relationship was dissolving, ("I saw you look away", "Is what I've done too much to take?")it made him angry and drove him mad ("I can't help what I hear in my head, it's the flip that I switch")and he ended up slaughtering his girlfriend, hence 'Hand of Blood'- blood on his hands for her death, and the first line, meaning he believes she got what she deserved. This is just my interpretation. There is so much fury in this song, it's alive! Over and out.

I actually don't think it's about murder. I think the blood is symbolic to his broken heart. I think it's like she's breaking his heart and ending it and he can't take it and he's just pissed off beyond belief. I think the whole "Is what ive done to much to take or are you scared of being nothing? " is about how he's reacting to the breakup and she's leaving because she's afraid of what people will think about what she did to him.

it is about murder. he announced that the song was about killing his girlfriend when they played live

This song is way awesome, i just heard them today for the first time and I love them!

i agree with the people whove said its about a broken relasionship... but me thinks that the relasionship broke down because of something that hes done ( is what ive odne too much to take) and hes gone mad at himself for ending somethign that he cant live without..

this is such a fab song, the riffs and the anger, and the general honest anger in the song is incredible!!!

cant wait for the next album..WOOOOOP

hey i agree with this too. his girl broke up with him because of something he did or said and now he is having trouble dealing with it so he kills her. that explains the blood on his hands
