Lyrics Blood-Diamond - Project Pitchfork

Blood-Diamond

He never was a child
He always was wise
He was angry as he was wild
To rule the world would be so nice
He loved to explore the castle
His sister was playing on a rug
He felt like a clown
And so he reached out for the crown
He was the king of the world
For all he knew —
He could destroy all he wanted
And the whole world too
See him running in the dark
He flees from the yearning in his heart
He runs from the feeling in the flood
Everything he touches turns into blood
See him running in the dark
A magical melody spears his heart
From his eyes are falling tears
What was he doing all those years?
Feel him running in your heart
He likes to keep two worlds apart
He runs from the feeling in the flood
Everything he touches turns into blood
He grew up to grow old
Just like he was foretold
He was the leader in all the states
So he walled her castle gates
His sight became blurred
And his ideas were absurd
His hand became a claw
As his word turned into law
He is the beginning of the pain
But nothing ever stays the same
His colorless empire ends right here
As her melody is in his ear
See him running in the dark
He flees from the yearning in his heart
He runs from the feeling in the flood
Everything he touches turns into blood
See him running in the dark
A magical melody spears his heart
From his eyes are falling tears
What was he doing all these years?
Feel him running in your heart
He likes to keep two worlds apart
He runs from the feeling in the flood
Everything he touches turns into blood
