Steel Mill "Blood Runs Deep"

 (lyrics found and modified)

* From album: "Green Eyed God"

Running for your life

Got to run like hell

So you are a killer

May the devil wish you well

And you were a gypsy

Followed, on the run

All the curse you're coming

Cause you took away a bun

[Living on your wits

Sleeping where you can

Say you killed your father

Hear him shouting as he ran

Fear the morning sun

Covered like a rat

Gonna crush your body

Some before they take you back

You for the gallows

Blood runs deep

You'll die so slowly

Blood runs deep] 2x

Black book in hand

Held the white-collared holy man

Pleads with his eyes

[And asked with perverted pride] 2x

[Take me along for the ride] 3x

Well, take me along for the ride

Blood runs deep...

Steel Mill "Green Eyed God"

 (lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Green Eyed God"

Green-eyed god in the midnight sun

In the north say he's the one

If you believe you lost the right

Surrender to him, give up your fight

Preacher Mr. Haste is nowhere to get down

Turn your pockets out, he might be underground

Mouth the words this song's, somebody turned around

Flashing faces laced up on a bloody ground

Preacher Mr. Haste, his love has never grown

Takes his crooked life to serve his god alone

Speaks his vile tongue and moves his evil bone

He crossed his evil thoughts, he knows the place that he's born

We fought the hand grenade, with bullets, steel and blade

Get a bomb too near us, believe he'll fear us

He takes his crooked life and makes an evil sign

His neck is in a noose, no chance of getting loose

His body in casket laid, poor Mr. Haste is dead

His blood is proof he ain't, his green-eyed god's the same

[God, you're a part of me] 4x
