lyrics

BLOOD CRIES OUT

Block your ears, barricade your hearts
Mourning is rising from the earth
Blood cries out from the land
Blood cries out from the land

Why should we know where Abel lies
Who made us the keeper of our brothers?
Blood cries out from the land
Blood cries out from the land

Restless rootless cut off from the earth
Tattooed on our hearts the mark of Cain
Blood cries out from the land
Blood cries out from the land

Strange disquiet, sadness old and deep
Song in a forgotten frequency
Rites denied, earth she holds the bones
And she sings for us the funeral song
Blood cries out from the land
Blood cries out from the land …
