New Blood - Bloc Party

I’ve been living too long in the tundra

I’ve been living too long at sea

And all my loved ones forgot about me

So I tame the urge to fight back

Sounding off to who I see

I used to be a renegade but now I’m just me

With this new blood, you’ll hear me

I’m making you a deal

I kept my house in order

So I dare you, I dare you, I dare you to rise

They said they’re going to teach me a lesson

They wanna show me how to kneel

I used to be a wild one but now I’m done

When I brought you an offering of honey

They said you needed blood

And in that moment I made my choice

Hear my prayer and clear the corners

Let this blood wash away all the sins of all the fathers

Guide my hand and on my honour

I will keep your words alive, I will keep you in my heart

With this new blood, you’ll hear me

I’m making you a deal

I kept my house in order

So I dare you, I dare you, I dare you to rise

With this new blood, you’ll hear me

I’m making you a deal

I kept my house in order

So I dare you, I dare you, I dare you to rise

(I dare you, I dare you, I dare you)

(To rise)

(I dare you, I dare you, I dare you)

(To rise)
