Bloodline Deal

Lyrics

Verse 1
What do you get
When you mix a mobster
With the son of the yakuza?

A marriage bathed in blood
A deal in silk gloves
A ledger and a ring

I never planned
To wear that kind of vow
But the money talked loud

My family means the world to me
I’ll do anything
To keep them safe

Pre-Chorus
So I said yes
To the poison smile
To the house that bites

If I bring home an heir
Then everybody wins
That was the line

Chorus
Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
I sold my name for peace

Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
Then the beast turned me

Verse 2
The Hayashis move
Like knives in a sleeve
Too clean, too calm

I walk in proud
With my best lie on
And a bridegroom face

But the room goes cold
When he steps through
All teeth and smoke

I thought I knew
What kind of monster waits
On the other side

Pre-Chorus
Then the grin hit first
Then the warning came
Too late, too late

Not a soft-spoken prince
Not a tame little pawn
A feral fate

Chorus
Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
I sold my name for peace

Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
Then the beast turned me

Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
He came to wreck my plans

Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
And took my trembling hand

Bridge
Now I hear him laugh
In the darkened hall
Like trouble made flesh

He don’t bow down easy
He don’t play nice
He don’t ask twice

And me?
I came for a contract
Got caught in his fire

Final Chorus
Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
I sold my name for peace

Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
Then the beast turned me

Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
He came to wreck my plans

Bloodline deal
Bloodline deal
Now I’m his damn command
