Blood of the Earth Lyrics


Two roads diverged

I chose the one mapped in blood

If you can’t teach them

Split them open

If you can’t make them see

If they can’t feel then make them feel again

Piece by piece by piece

The night is humid with hatred’s breath

The air is thick with the pyre’s stench

Cut off their heads to spare their necks

Reseed the fields with their ash

Carve out their tongues, take your words back

If we don’t fight, we’re no better than them

Two ends converge

We chose the one inked in blood

If you can’t tame them

Make them afraid again

We are not prey, we feed

If they can’t feel then make them feel again

It’s their turn to live on their knees

I am the blood of the earth

That you found in the dark

By the light of the fire

A trap in the night

I am the blood of the earth

That you found in the dark

By the light of the fire

A trap in the night

The winter limbs are my limbs

And the moon is my eye

And it’s seen ends like yours

Time after time
