Lyrics
in line to faint
In the queue to lose consciousness
hope to escape
Aspiring for an escape
take it away
Remove the source of pain
take it away
Repeated emphasis on removing the pain
the poison drains
The poisonous substance is draining
the faint
A reference to those who are faint or weak
take it away
Reiteration of the desire to take away the pain
bloodletting, they say
Mention of bloodletting as a practice
it's a mercy
Describing bloodletting as a merciful act
to weigh the pain
Weighing the pain as part of the process
to drain the sanguine way
Draining the sanguine (blood-related) way
the sanguine way
Repetition of the sanguine way for emphasis
the one and only
Referring to something as unique and singular
the great mistake
Labeling a significant error or misjudgment
take it away...
Reiteration of the desire to take away the pain
