  • I heard this line one time 'bout tryin' to save the world
    But have you ever tried to save yourself
    A wide-eyed suicide drive
    Remains a fake
    As if you'd ever
    Ever go and make the same mistake
    Strung out as the night comes crawlin'
    Your halo of thorns is fallin'

    [Chorus]
    Blood runs cold
    I feel it in my bones
    But you don't know your time is up
    Blood runs cold

    Somebody somewhere is screamin' out the words
    But do they ever really ease the pain
    I guess what I'm trying to say
    Is whose life is it anyway because livin'
    Living is the best revenge
    You can play
    This fall from grace
    I see your face
    It's over

    [Chorus]

    From you love was kind
    Resolved left scarred and blind
    Wasted and naked in the wings

    Denying twist of fate
    Demanding Heaven's gate
    Lying in wait above the wind

    Strung out as the night comes crawlin'
    Your halo of thorns is fallin'

    [Chorus]

    Blood runs cold

  • Defspider = Def Leppard & Spider-man (favs) from San Francisco"Blood Runs Cold" was the song that saved my life. In 1997, my world died when my wife left me and my 3 kids. Nothing was stopping my descent to despair. Not drugs, not alchohol, not friends or family. Nothing... until I bought the "Sang" album, a year after it was released. The lyrics was talking to me personally, reminding me that "Living is the best revenge, you'll ever have.".
