Blood For Blood Lyrics
I bite the hand 'cause this hands feeds off me
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you can't speak the truth
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Beatings are what you'll inherit this time
Fist bait, your new name
Your pain is my shrine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
I was born to tension
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Give respect
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Devoid of emotion, it lives to cheat
Ignorance is bliss, and respect I gave you
Friend you did claim this
Too bad you can't speak the truth
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Fist bait, your new name
Your pain is my shrine
Pulverize and break
Determination
Pleasure I negate
Your pain brings me salvation
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
Anger came from frustration
I can't back down from aggression
Some hard knocks taught me this lesson
'Cause the rule is blood for blood
'Cause the rule is blood for blood

@hedonism It is a good song, as is this whole album ... but I wouldn't personally say it is their best song.

Probably, at least one of them!
a classic.. what more can u say?
This is good beacause its different to machine heads usual heavy drop c/b power chord sound. Shame they don't regard it as one of the their best as it was not on Hellalive or the new dvd Elegies
It's obvious that this song is about being stabbed in the back.
Yep, and if 'You hit me, I'll hit you back. You stab me, I'll stab you back. You fuck me, I'll fuck you right back.' Blood for blood, eye for an eye.
I love the ethos "Give respect" ... something a lot of people in society fail terribly at.
It's about fighting back, if someone tries to fight you.
