Some think it's a story, some think it's a lie
Some probably wonder, some don't know why
What possibility could there be that blood is flowing down from a tree?
At first a trickle and then a stream, and then a river, and now a sea
Where did it come from? What does it mean?
Like a fountain that's flowing free all over you, all over me
And now I'm staring to see a world covered in blood
World covered in blood
World covered in blood
World covered in blood
Why did we k** the man of peace?
Now his d**h falls at our feet
Our hands are stained, we cop a plea
We justify our every deed
But still it flows unrestrained, like a flood in the pouring rain
All over you, all over me
And now I'm staring to see a world covered in blood
Covered in blood
Covered in blood
Covered in blood
A world covered in blood
We know we're guilty
We can't escape forgiving power in this lake
We stand condemned, but now we're cleansed
This blood has the power to make amends
But still it flows unrestrained, like a wave in a hurricane
All over you, all over me
And now I'm staring to see a world covered in blood
Covered in blood
Covered in blood
Whoa
World covered in blood
A world covered in blood
World covered in blood
Yeah, yeah
World covered in blood
A world covered in blood
A world covered in blood
