Fleshgod Apocalypse
Bloodclock
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse: Francesco Paoli]
Awake, alone, paralyzed
The blood in my mouth tastes like defeat
Wounded, swollen, bleeding
I'm hanging on this wall like a crucifix
Pieces of bones scattered everywhere
I wrap my left arm around my neck
I feel my legs no more
While adrenaline is blasting my bursting heart

[Pre-Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Drop by drop
All my blood
Turns this granite to red
Tick tock
Like a clock
Till my veins are emptied
And the wind
Plucks a harp
While my soul disappears
But I'm not dead yet

[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
I can hear my wife yelling my name in vain
While my son holds a shovel and is digging my grave
But I'm not dead yet
All I know is that I don't want to leave this earth today
On this rope I must fight tooth and nail
Hear these words that like a mantra I repeat to myself
I'm not dead yet

[Pre-Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Not yet, the countdown has started for the bloodclock
Broken is the hourglass, exsanguinating till the last drop

[Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
I can hear my wife yelling my name in vain
While my son holds a shovel and is digging my grave
But I'm not dead yet

All I know is that I don't want to leave this earth today
On this rope I must fight tooth and nail
Hear these words that like a mantra I repeat to myself
I'm not dead yet

[Bridge: Veronica Bordacchini]
I can be cruel sometimes
Let you touch the sky or make you fall
Watch you, striving for peace of mind
Hunting high and low till you're gone
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Veronica Bordacchini]
Future is so unpredictable
Just hold on to your hopes

[Outro: Francesco Paoli]
I'm not dead yet
Mark my words 'cause
I'm not dead yet!
And I'm not dying today

[Breathing]

I'm not dead yet!
Fuck!
