Lyrics
We stab at our faith to keep it alive
We challenge our faith to keep it alive
We draw the blood but the law draws the line
We make sacrifices, but there are limits set by societal rules
A hand is a hand, a knife is a knife
A hand is a hand, a knife is a knife - emphasizing the simplicity and reality of things
Blood is blood, and life is life
Stressing the fundamental nature of blood and life
We could go anywhere
We have the freedom to explore, but the underlying issues persist
It would still be the same
No matter where we go, the fundamental problems remain unchanged
A change of climate, a change of air
A change in surroundings doesn't alleviate the pressure or problems
All the pressure would remain
Despite changes, societal pressures and issues persist
I can read the unwritten law
Claiming an ability to understand the unspoken rules or truths
I can read the unwritten law
Reiterating the claim to understand unwritten truths or laws
A hand is a hand, a knife is a knife
Repetition of the simplicity of reality - hand, knife, blood, and life
Blood is blood, life is life
Emphasizing the basic and essential nature of blood and life
A hand is a hand, a knife is a knife
Repeating the idea of the simplicity and reality of hands, knives, blood, and life
Blood is blood, and life is life
Reiterating the fundamental nature of blood and life
The unwritten law
Referring to an unspoken code or fundamental truths that govern existence
The unwritten law
Repeating the reference to an unwritten code or fundamental laws
