[Verse 1]
It was too much for my eyes to take when I stepped onto the scene
But something drove me deeper still, yea, with this band of angry screams
"Friend, finish what you came here for" when I kissed his tear stained cheek
And though I sparked this catalyst I was too afraid to speak
[Chorus]
And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain
And I just stare at these bloody hands
[Verse 2]
I was finished with my duties then when I turned to walk away
But I shuttered at the work I'd done when I saw his broken face
And the clouds took over everything when his breath escaped no more
The others had deserved this fate, but surely he was something more
[Chorus]
And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain
And I just stare at these bloody hands
And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain
And I just stare at these bloody hands
[Verse 3]
Some would say it's not our fault
Hell, we weren't even born
But I know I'm the reason that the thorns and nails were ever worn
[Chorus]
And nothing I could ever do could take away this pain
And I just stare at these bloody hands
There is only one thing that can take away this pain
And I just stare at these bloody hands
There is only one thing that can take away this pain
And I just stare at these bloody hands
