Not In Rivers, But In Drops Lyrics

Still been trying to figure out the meaning behind this one... it definitely has its roots in Hassan I Sabbah. I know for a fact that some of the lyrics are wrong (after listening to a clearer vocals in the Mevlins Remix that was released with the Holy Tears single).

This part is for sure:

War is waged Blood is spilled Not in rivers But in drops

Also, instead of "your voice, still real" it is "still HEALS."

As for "I am the reining power," I still think it sounds a bit different. The incomprehensible part I think might be an elongated "THEREFORE."

Finally, it sounds like "the pain, is you." "Insain floods" doesn't seem right either. Perhaps "as it, GOES!" That last one is just a guess.

Hope this helps clarify any meaning.
