Dethalbum II cover.

"Bloodlines" is a song by Dethklok that appears in their second full length album, Dethalbum II. It exists in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. The lyrics explore the subject of carrying the bloodlines of ancestors long dead and embracing primitive instincts to survive and kill, and also to reproduce offspring so the bloodline may be carried onto future generations. The song contains a subplot about Nathan Explosion searching for the people responsible for the Native American blood within him (referencing the claim that he is White/Native American). Bloodlines also references a part in history where murders against Native Americans were committed by settlers and U.S soldiers in America during the 18th century, due to prejudice and desire to own the land the ancestors of the Native Americans lived on before them. The section of the song 'Take Your Life' has been voted on numerous occasions to be one of the hardest sections in double bass pedal drumming, due to its speed intensity. The song is very difficult to beat unless you know what you're doing, the guitar is easy, the bass is even easier, and the vocals are an instant FC even if you don't know the words, as it consists entirely of spoken lyrics, like "No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn" and "Deadfall".

Lyrics

I track my history
Bloody burned family tree
Native blood runs in me
Murderous tendencies

Keep bloodlust away
Keep violence at bay
Can't deny genetics
Animal DNA

Disappear into the fog
You kill to multiply the tainted blood
You can't remember where you go at night
You got the bloody teeth and wolven sight
Cho!

Ancestor genocide
We were killed to save lives
Just one beast did survive
Now I live to take life

Keep yourself from me
Can't help what I be
I am man and beast
Your flesh I will eat

Fall right into homicide
Become the beast that lives inside
Sink your fangs into the skin
Drink the blood so you may live

Kill until you find the one
That will carry tainted sons
Death brings life into the dark
Infest the world and make your mark
Tonight

Go perpetuate
Go procreate
Endure homicide
Keep bloodlines alive

Our children will regress
And hunger for the flesh
They can't be controlled
They hunger for your soul
Tonight

It's time to close your eyes
And become the animals
That you once were...
FREEFORM

Ooh ah
Ooh ah
Ooh ah
Ooh

Argh!
FREEFORM
Ah!

Bloodlines
I'll take your life
I'll give you life
Bloodlines
Life

I'll take your life
I'll give you life
Bloodlines
Lines!
I gave you life
