Halloween - Traipsing Through The Blood

 

We walk so silently, into the night
We never see it coming, we are so blind
The stream of life is flowing like a flood
And suddenly we're traipsing through the blood

Calm before the storm is like a de ja vu
Feel the rush of blood just before it exits you
And you try to hold on, but your time is fleeting
After all is said and done, it's death whom you are meeting

We wander aimlessly into a trap
So oblivious, we go to hell and back
And yes, there's a wake up call, but still we sleep
So we say our prayers, but thre is no soul left to keep
We become the shell of who we used to be
Our blood is on the floor, but we fail to see
Confusion grips each of us in the end
And for our wicked ways, there's a price we'll pay, my friend

Why do we never care, until it's way too late?
Why do we waste our time and play with fate?
And like the innocent children
Who've turned to bad from good
We're playing with our lives
And traipsing through the blood

So afraid, yet so naive, you say you do
But you don't believe as you walk through this world
The blind who lead the blind
You should have stayed behind
We'd be better off alone and in the cold...

... The blind leading the blind!
We beg and plead to try and save our lives
We act like fools and try to close our eyes
But now we see our fate, it's there before us
Why didn't we listen when they tried to warn us?
Our filth has covered us in dirt and mud
Our ignorance will leave us traipsing through the blood

No more the silence, loud is all the screaming
No more the innocent child, no you're not dreaming

Why do we never care, until it's way too late?
Why do we waste our time and play with fate?
And like the innocent children
Who've turned to bad from good
We're playing with our lives
And traipsing through the blood
... Traipsing through... the blood!
