[Verse 1]

Seized by stress, hateful energy

Blood is boiling, trying to break free

Temper flares, destruction takes its place

Killing power, uncontrolled disgrace

[Chorus]

Draining the strength from your tired soul

Robbed of your right to relax

Tightening vices taking their toll

Inflicting these deadly attacks

[Refrain]

Hot blood runs cold

[Verse 2]

Death sentence from the day you're born

Pressure curse, your skin is ripped and torn

Veins bulge, your body's glowing red

Hypertension is leaving you for dead

[Chorus]

Draining the strength from your tired soul

Robbed of your right to relax

Tightening vices taking their toll

Inflicting these deadly attacks

[Refrain]

Hot blood runs cold

[Verse 3]

Nervous wreck, hell bent of self-destruction

Can't break apart this arterial obstruction

Cardiac, your rate of pulse increased

Strained heart, you're soon to be deceased

[Chorus]

Draining the strength from your tired soul

Robbed of your right to relax

Tightening vices taking their toll

Inflicting these deadly attacks

[Refrain]

Hot blood runs cold

Hot blood runs cold
