Cover art for A Trace of Blood lyrics by Pain of Salvation

Oh my god, I've only noticed just today that this song isn't just about her having a miscarriage. He's directly RESPONSIBLE for the miscarriage. I don't know how I didn't notice this before...

"Touching ground Going home to those I miss Safe and sound Weeks of exile turn to bliss"

The 'weeks of exile turning to bliss' is sexual inactivity due to the pregnancy. They decide to be passionate for the first time in weeks even though she is pregnant.

"But there's something in her voice When she is calling me A trace of blood to lead me Through roads of agony With blood taste in my mouth"

The 'calling me' is her crying out in pleasure, but he notices that there is also something wrong. He notices the trace of blood coming from her, and he has the taste of blood in his mouth due to cunnilingus.

I think he just came home after a long time away.. He was happy that he'll see his wife and make love to her..He knew she was pregnant because he says ''going home to THOSE i miss.. But while they were making love I guess she started to bleed., doesn't mean and I dont think he was responsible..

"Blood taste in my mouth". He was going down on her.
