lyrics

O holy body water
starry field of sky
brother-body Christie
wash my tears to run dry

Touch me
where i can feel it,
come inside like
an eventide,
make eventual the
hurts around me
but for now, just make
me love
and let me hide.

Shooting, falling
embers of our fathers
they rain down
along the edges
of our earth
and the fire's light
is slowly dying
come, breathe me
back to birth.

Comfort me til morning,
morning will be on us
soon enough
let the lingering night-fall
milk and honey us
through the rough

Every time
the blood is falling, slowing
and the stain is spreading
like a sigh
and children from
another country
are waiting
for another sun
to rise
