She puts some water on the wound
And hums a little tune

While her courage puddles on the ground
F Em F
Pooling, pooling

Am C Csus4 C
See the murder and the swarm descend

And the night is getting thick
The moon telling her tricks

She'd betray her every time

It was the year

The crows and the locusts came
C G
The fields drained dry the rain
Dm
The fields are bleeding
F
It was the age
Am
The foxes came for the fields
C G
We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
Dm
And prayed for mercy, prayed for mercy
Am
The rumble is low and the heat is high

Got a feeling that there's rain out in the oil black sky
Am
Gonna chase away the devil when that sun does rise
F
Gonna plead the blood
F
Gonna plead the blood

It was the year
Am
The crows and the locusts came
C G
The fields drained dry the rain
Dm
The fields are bleeding
F
It was the age

The foxes came for the fields
C G
We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
Dm
And prayed for mercy, prayed for mercy
Am
She limps on up to the top of a mount
F Dm
Looks at the faltered harvest
Am
Feels her sweat in the ground and the burn in her nose
F
And the knowing in her gut
Dm
Something's still gonna grow
She ain't leaving 'till it does.
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood
