Drawing Blood Lyrics

She's lonely

She sees the same blood, third time this year

And home—home isn't home

With that empty room,

With that empty nursery room

Sometimes things just go wrong

Sometimes you feel that old Curse, pressing in

Tearing his claws, drawing blood

Shaking the ground with his ugliest roar

Heaving his breakers to crash on your shore

The specter

Haunting her everywhere that she goes

And oh—Lord, don't you hear?

Lord don't you hear

That old wraith rattling bones

Sometimes things just go wrong

Sometimes you feel that old Curse, pressing in

Tearing his claws, drawing blood

Shaking the ground with his ugliest roar

Heaving his breakers to crash on your shore

Lord would you wrestle him down?

Lord, come and shatter his teeth, in his mouth

Heal up the flesh that he tore

Put songs in our mouths of our fortunes, restored

Sowing in tears, but we'll reap then with joy

Bringing our sheaves in, we'll reap then with joy

We'll reap then with joy

We'll reap then with joy

We'll reap then with joy

We'll reap then with joy, joy, joy

We'll reap then with joy, joy, joy

We'll reap then with joy, joy joy
