Weave on sisters of the night On your loom of pain, Try to stitch the darkness through the light Weave on property and crime, the wars and waste Gives our souls a break from the hunger, For the prophets and the saints
Stitch it on, the weapons drawn and children's played And the fathers found In unmarked graves with your fingers pale and numb Just weave
Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on Weave your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Just you still weave on
Feed on sorry sons of state Preaching salvation, while we fall with such amazing grace Feed on love of money, love of race Disrespect of country, And of neighbor's neighbored in our hate
Stitch it on, the bothers gone, And lives they gave to the foreign graves With your fingers pale and numb Just braid, just braid
Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on Weave your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on Weave your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on Weave your stitching purple, blue and red Just you sisters weave on, Let the blood run through your thread Oh you sisters just weave on, on, on!
These are the plans, the words we live for, minds arranged You there we share this pain, Withdrawn from this place ends speedily Lest the harsh, smite your mind, I'll sow in madness How dare you adjust to cowardice I'm ready to endure with him whatever must be I am ready to endure with him whatever must be
Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on Weave your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on Weave your stitching purple, blue and red Just you sisters weave on, Let the blood run through your thread Oh you sisters just weave on, On, on, on!
