The Fallout

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
