[Verse 1]
I wake up red
In a box of steel
Salt on my tongue
Like a broken seal
Knuckles split open
Still I take the wheel
No gentle prayer
Can change what I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Bone to bone
Skin to spark
I hear the chain
Rattle in the dark
Head first
I don't slow down
I was made for this
To shake the ground
[Chorus]
Blood, flesh and bone
Blood, flesh and bone
Say my name
And brace the blow
Blood, flesh and bone
Blood, flesh and bone
I come alive
When the war drums roll (roll)
[Verse 2]
Boots on the gravel
Dust in my teeth
Hot iron rain
On the backs of the weak
I took every hit
Kept the flame in reach
Now the whole damn world
Wants a piece of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Bone to bone
Skin to spark
I hear the chain
Rattle in the dark
Head first
I don't slow down
I was made for this
To shake the ground
[Chorus]
Blood, flesh and bone
Blood, flesh and bone
Say my name
And brace the blow
Blood, flesh and bone
Blood, flesh and bone
I come alive
When the war drums roll (roll)
[Bridge]
[Half-time breakdown]
Hollow eyes
Cold night
Steel in my chest
I bite back light
Break that seal
Cut that thread
I stand up loud
With the dead in my head
[Final Chorus]
Blood, flesh and bone
Blood, flesh and bone
Say my name
And brace the blow
Blood, flesh and bone
Blood, flesh and bone
I come alive
When the war drums roll (roll)
Blood, flesh and bone
Blood, flesh and bone
No throne, no stone
Just blood, flesh and bone
