Winger - "Tears Of Blood"

TEARS OF BLOOD
Music by Kip Winger and Reb Beach
Lyrics by Kip Winger

Here you stand
Front of the mirror
Wondering who you really are
You are damned
Seems nothing’s clearer
Wondering how you fell so far

Hopes filled with rust
Dreams turn to dust
Your words all spiked with poison

Streaming Tears Of Blood
Bleeding out a flood
Of your virgin soul
Down a cold black hole
And mistakes you’ve made
Until death you’ll pay
You’ll always be unforgiven

Take the blame
You’re always willing
You can’t prove the unseen truth
Such a shame
The love it’s killing
Might never show the real you

So wish you well
On your road to hell
That was paved with good intentions

Streaming Tears Of Blood
Bleeding out a flood
Of your virgin soul
Down a cold black hole
And mistakes you’ve made
Until death you’ll pay
You’ll never know your redemption

Cause your Judas mind
Betrays your Jesus heart
And the skeptics words
Tear your soul apart
Though you know the truth
You know you can’t win
And you’ll always be unforgiven

Dear God, why so many demons?
(Woman) Don’t stop believing in yourself
Red ones, blue ones, black ones, green ones
(Woman) You have so much to give
So much damage
My soul such a dirty canvas
Muddy colors on broken brushes
Fumbling in darkness
Painting landscapes of Judges
(Woman) Don’t stop believing in yourself
Dear God, why so many demons?

You once felt blessed
Now it’s all a mess
Voice screaming you deserve it

And you curse your god
Paints you as a fraud
Tests your faith in love
You can’t give enough
Any way you turn
You’ll just see it burn
While you’re dying day after day

Streaming Tears Of Blood
Bleeding out a flood
Of your virgin soul
Down a cold black hole
And mistakes you’ve made
Until death you’ll pay
You’ll never know your redemption

Cause your Judas mind
Betrays your Jesus heart
And the skeptics words
Tear your soul apart
Though you know the truth
You know you can’t win
So you’ll always be unforgiven
