Seaweeds like emerald veins she sleep 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 upon 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
