blood of the zodiac — Machine Head

A blind man asked an angel Could you please help But was told Take me from this altar I won't falter But I might fall

This bitter man would understand Through all his life, a needle had Been his saviour, been his God So he tried to make a change Tried to rearrange Gun at his side, suicide

I can't help feel I been mistreated Won't you listen to me

Despise all that I see All that I feel All that I want to be Burned, blistered and raw Tearing apart All that is sane to me

A wise man half pariah Half messiah Came to seed Rain down blood like fire Born to sire Racist breed

His dominance of ignorance Was rhetoric that made no sense Some believed in all the lies But in my mind I know what's wrong Way too fucking strong Taste the revenge on my tongue

And now is my time to rise And now is our time to rise Our time To rise

Ignorant, indignant Promises made in vain

Rise, I can't see like you Rise, I can't feel like you Rise, never be like you Rise, time for all us to Rise...
