Blood On Your Hands Lyrics

You were born
Your brother's keeper
Why can I see
Blood on your hands
You became
Your brother's slayer
Embrace again in death

At the end
Of all this hatred
Lies a deeper hate
Their darkness
Has defeated you
Your lifeline
Running backwards

Remember
Sins of our fathers
A requiem
For the countless dead

Blood is on your hands
The wages of sin

Future's eyes closing now
Soul eclipse taking place
Laments rise
Tears of the dead
From the other side of the grave

You were born
Your brother's keeper
Why can I see
Blood on your hands
Their darkness
Has defeated you
Your lifeline
Running backwards

Remember
Sins of our fathers
A requiem
For the countless dead

Blood is on your hands
The wages of sin

Future's eyes closing now
Soul eclipse taking place
Tears of the dead
From the other side of the grave
The other side of the grave

Blood is on your hands
The wages of ..SIN!

New album is pure fuckin' metal!!!

Arch Enemy seem to have done what Iron Maiden did with their last album, and written about war, or power struggles, but I'll have to listen to it some more to be sure.

This song is pure fuckin' br00tal metal! Lovin' it!

Cover art for Blood On Your Hands lyrics by Arch Enemy

Well... the first verse is pretty much taken straight from the Bible, that's when Cain kills his brother Avel.

The rest of the song just talks about us having to suffer because of Adam and Eve.

Fuck you Sessh0umaru01! Arch Enemy kick ass, but you can't call them 'br00tal'...Yes,they are Death Metal, but they can't be 'br00tal' because it's FUCKING MELODIC Dath Metal! Besides, they are kind of girly... And it's OK, but they are not 'br00tal'! These things are fucking 'br00tal': Deicide, Morbid Angel, Nile, Suffocation, Bloodbath, Dying Fetus, Impending Doom, Wormed, Skinless, Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed, Necrophagist, etc, etc... Do you even know what METAL is???
