Seaweeds like emerald veins

She sleeps beneath the breaking weight

A silent dying ocean's slow defeat

The floods will rise

And take us all



An end to all this quarrel

A final grace to rid her grief

Oh mother

Show no mercy for me



Wash the stains away

Come unto me again

Open yourself beneath us all (swallow)

Purge the soil

Burn the surface

Erase (erase)

Erase the past again



Oh she will sleep like a breathing fire's kiss upon you

Oh my darling dear walk carefully 

Perhaps she'll still be there? (wake up!)

The rivers to rise again 



Wash the stains away 

Come unto me again

Open yourself beneath us all (swallow)

Purge the soil

Burn the surface

Erase (erase)

Erase the past again



[whispering:]

I am my brother's keeper

I am my brother's keeper

An eye for an eye until everyone's blind

?...

I'm sick of it

I'm sick of the blood

I'm sick of it

?...



Don't you want something real

Don't you want something real
