[Verse 1]

Bleeding for the martyr

We were bleeding for the Pope

We were bleeding for the victim

We were bleeding for the dope

We were bleeding for the felon

As he tried to catch his breath

Then the motherfucker cries out:

"Bleed till death"

[Verse 2]

There was blood about the window

There was blood about the floor

There was blood about the shakin' hand

The hand that locked the door

We were bleeding for the children

As they tried to catch their breath

Then the motherfucker cries out:

"Bleed till death"

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Don't break my concentration

Don't break my back in two

One steady hand fixation

One cut bleed all over you

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Don't break my concentration

Don't break my back in two

[Chorus]

I am the surgeon

I am the face of fear

I cut your dreams away

And long to hold you near

I am the surgeon

I never shed a tear

I am the surgeon

And I long, I long, long to hold you near

[Verse 3]

We were killing for the people

We were killing for the state

We were killing just for killing

And we did it out of hate

We were killing for the innocent

The guilty catch their breath

Then the motherfucker cries out:

"Kill till death"

[Verse 4]

There was bodies in the garden

There were bodies on the street

There was carnage, beg ya pardon

And a body at my feet

We were killing for the innocent

The guilty catch their breath

Then the motherfucker cries out:

"Kill till death"

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't break my concentration

Don't break my back in two

One steady hand fixation

One cut bleed all over you

[Chorus]

I am the surgeon

I am the face of fear

I cut your dreams away

And long to hold you near

I am the surgeon

I never shed a tear

I am the surgeon

And I long, I long, long to hold you near

[Interlude]

[Bridge 1]

Bleed out in the morning (Bleed out)

In the morning air (Bleed out)

Bleed out in the afternoon

In the evening, I don't care (Bleed out)

The world stops on its axis (Bleed out)

In the face of fear (Bleed out)

And I can't feel your heartbeat now

When I hold you near (Bleed out)

[Bridge 2]

Bleed out (Bleed out)

In the morning air (Bleed out)

Bleed out (Bleed out)

In the evening, I don't care (Bleed out)

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

I am the surgeon

I am the face of fear

I cut your dreams away

And long to hold you near

I am the surgeon

I never shed a tear

I am the surgeon

And I long, I long, long to hold you near
