This Blood On My Hands (by Rambler)

Get this blood off of my hands,
I can't stand the sight.
I feel sick to my stomach,
This can't be right.

Get this blood off of my hands,
I can't take the smell.
It isn't my fault,
What is this hell?

Get this blood off of my hands,
It won't go away!
I have washed and washed,
I have knelt down to pray.

Get this blood off of my hands,
This is no fault of my own.
Why must I pay,
For the seeds others have sown?

Get this blood off of my hands,
I threw no stone.
I merely kept my silence,
As to others it was done.

Get this blood off of my hands,
Why am I to blame?
I am not responsible,
They were punished for their shame.

Get this blood off of my hands,
Am I my brother's keeper?
Is it really my place,
To save the damned from the Reaper?

Get this blood off of my hands,
I have stood idly by.
While innocent blood is shed,
What manner of demon am I?
