Arms nailed down
Are You tellin' me something?
And eyes turned out
Are You lookin' for someone?
Blood-stained brow
Are You dyin' for nothin'?
Flesh and blood
Is it so elemental?
This is the one thing
The one thing that I know
Yes, it's the one thing
The one thing that I know
Oh, one thing that I know
Blood-stained brow
Are You dyin' for nothing?
Arms nailed down
You didn't die for nothing
For nothing
Yeah and this is the one thing
The one thing that I know
Yes, it's the one thing
The one thing that I know
One thing that I know
The one thing that I know
One thing that I know
Are You tellin' me something?
And eyes turned out
Are You lookin' for someone?
Blood-stained brow
Are You dyin' for nothin'?
Flesh and blood
Is it so elemental?
This is the one thing
The one thing that I know
Yes, it's the one thing
The one thing that I know
Oh, one thing that I know
Blood-stained brow
Are You dyin' for nothing?
Arms nailed down
You didn't die for nothing
For nothing
Yeah and this is the one thing
The one thing that I know
Yes, it's the one thing
The one thing that I know
One thing that I know
The one thing that I know
One thing that I know
