Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bleeding for the martyr We were bleeding for the Pope We were bleeding for the victim We were bleeding for the dope We were bleeding for the felon As he tried to catch his breath Then the motherfucker cries out: "Bleed till death" [Verse 2] There was blood about the window There was blood about the floor There was blood about the shakin' hand The hand that locked the door We were bleeding for the children As they tried to catch their breath Then the motherfucker cries out: "Bleed till death" [Pre-Chorus 1] Don't break my concentration Don't break my back in two One steady hand fixation One cut bleed all over you [Pre-Chorus 2] Don't break my concentration Don't break my back in two [Chorus] I am the surgeon I am the face of fear I cut your dreams away And long to hold you near I am the surgeon I never shed a tear I am the surgeon And I long, I long, long to hold you near [Verse 3] We were killing for the people We were killing for the state We were killing just for killing And we did it out of hate We were killing for the innocent The guilty catch their breath Then the motherfucker cries out: "Kill till death" [Verse 4] There was bodies in the garden There were bodies on the street There was carnage, beg ya pardon And a body at my feet We were killing for the innocent The guilty catch their breath Then the motherfucker cries out: "Kill till death" [Pre-Chorus] Don't break my concentration Don't break my back in two One steady hand fixation One cut bleed all over you [Chorus] I am the surgeon I am the face of fear I cut your dreams away And long to hold you near I am the surgeon I never shed a tear I am the surgeon And I long, I long, long to hold you near [Interlude] [Bridge 1] Bleed out in the morning (Bleed out) In the morning air (Bleed out) Bleed out in the afternoon In the evening, I don't care (Bleed out) The world stops on its axis (Bleed out) In the face of fear (Bleed out) And I can't feel your heartbeat now When I hold you near (Bleed out) [Bridge 2] Bleed out (Bleed out) In the morning air (Bleed out) Bleed out (Bleed out) In the evening, I don't care (Bleed out) [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I am the surgeon I am the face of fear I cut your dreams away And long to hold you near I am the surgeon I never shed a tear I am the surgeon And I long, I long, long to hold you near
