Now We Die Lyrics
And with this now we die(and with this now we die)
And with this now we die(and with this now we die)
(and with this now we die)
Standing, at the edge of the world
Uncertainty calling as the page unfurls
Fortune, heaven or hell
Shedding my body of this mortal shell
Black steel and iron
A lion heart is forged from these bones
Fear not the discontent you hide
Awake from the slumber and define this time
No fear to pay the price
And with this now we die
Ashes to ashes
The ocean crashes
Louder and louder
It cries
Over and over
The sands wash over
Facing, embracing
The tides
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
Screaming, violence into the void
Is anyone listening or is all destroyed?
Fighting, heaven and earth
Saving your children from their pain and hurt
Bloodstone and diamonds
Nothing can break the strength of these stones
Cast off the shackles of the past
Live in the moment nothing ever lasts
Now cross the bridge of sighs
And with this now we die
Ashes to ashes
The ocean crashes
Louder and louder
It cries
Over and over
The sands wash over
Facing, embracing
The tides
And with this now we die
Are you ready to die?
Standing at the edge of the world
Standing at the edge of the world
The damned, are we
Abused, and beat
We're left, for dead
We raise, our head
For we, are strong
And they, are wrong
Well scream, with me
"I do believe"
I need, your help
For I, have knelt
Held fist, at skies
And cried out "why"?
Your shoulder strength
It gives me length
We lift ourselves
Together meld
So take, my hand
And don't, look back
And sing, with me
"Let new life be,
Old life, goodbye"
And now, we die
For we, are one
Forever young
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
Are you ready?
I'm standing at the edge of the world
Standing at the edge of the world
And with this now we die(and with this now we die)
(and with this now we die)
Uncertainty calling as the page unfurls
Fortune, heaven or hell
Shedding my body of this mortal shell
Black steel and iron
A lion heart is forged from these bones
Fear not the discontent you hide
Awake from the slumber and define this time
And with this now we die
The ocean crashes
Louder and louder
It cries
Over and over
The sands wash over
Facing, embracing
The tides
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
Is anyone listening or is all destroyed?
Fighting, heaven and earth
Saving your children from their pain and hurt
Bloodstone and diamonds
Nothing can break the strength of these stones
Cast off the shackles of the past
Live in the moment nothing ever lasts
And with this now we die
The ocean crashes
Louder and louder
It cries
Over and over
The sands wash over
Facing, embracing
The tides
And with this now we die
Standing at the edge of the world
Abused, and beat
We're left, for dead
We raise, our head
For we, are strong
And they, are wrong
Well scream, with me
"I do believe"
I need, your help
For I, have knelt
Held fist, at skies
And cried out "why"?
Your shoulder strength
It gives me length
We lift ourselves
Together meld
So take, my hand
And don't, look back
And sing, with me
"Let new life be,
Old life, goodbye"
And now, we die
For we, are one
Forever young
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
And with this now we die
Standing at the edge of the world

I believe that this song is about embracing change, overcoming adversity, and finding strength in companionship. It tells of shedding the skin on your body, letting go of the limitations placed on you by you and society. Transform and harden yourself to become courageous and relentless like black steel and iron, before becoming like bloodstone and diamonds. One is a symbol of justice, and the other is the hardest mineral on earth. The repeating of the phrase, and song title, Now We Die, is a declaration of embracing change, leaving behind the old and starting anew, facing the unknown, and being willing to let go of the past.
The name of this album, Bloodstone & Diamonds, comes from this song. Rob Flynn explained the meaning behind its title, stating that "in many cultures, the bloodstone has been used as an amulet to protect against evil, and is the symbol of justice. Diamonds are the hardest natural material on earth (which is how we feel about our music), and it also represents the diamond logo I drew 22 years ago (in my wife's apartment on Dover St. in Oakland) that has become the symbol for the band."

Now we... DIAMOND.
Now we... DIAMOND.
Forged in the dirt, of the pressure, of the stress... Burning stars, fallen nuts.
