Lyrics
0:00It was the year
0:03The crows and the locusts came
0:08The fields drained dry the rain
0:13The fields are bleeding
0:40"Daddy don't cry it'll be alright"
0:48She puts some water on the wound
0:51And hums a little tune
0:53While her courage puddles on the ground
0:58Pooling pooling
1:09See the murder and the swarm descend
1:17And the night is getting thick
1:20The moon telling her tricks
1:22She'd betray her every time
1:27It was the year
1:30The crows and the locusts came
1:34The fields drained dry the rain
1:39The fields are bleeding
1:46It was the age
1:49The foxes came for the fields
1:53We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
1:57And prayed for mercy prayed for mercy
2:06The rumble is low and the heat is high
2:10Got a feeling that there's rain out in the oil black sky
2:15Gonna chase away the devil when that sun does rise
2:20Gonna plead the blood
2:25Gonna plead the blood
3:29It was the year
3:32The crows and the locusts came
3:37The fields drained dry the rain
3:42The fields are bleeding
3:48It was the age
3:51The foxes came for the fields
3:56We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel
4:00And prayed for mercy prayed for mercy
4:08She limps on up to the top of a mount
4:14Looks at the faltered harvest
4:18Feels her sweat in the ground and the burn in her nose
4:24And the knowing in her guts
4:26Something's still gonna grow
4:28She ain't leaving 'till it does
4:54What can wash away my sin
4:59Nothing but the blood
5:04What can make me whole again
5:08Nothing but the blood
5:13What can wash away my sin
5:18Nothing but the blood
5:23What can make me whole again
5:27Nothing but the blood
It was the year The crows and the locusts came The fields drained dry the rain The fields are bleeding "Daddy don't cry it'll be alright" She puts some water on the wound And hums a little tune While her courage puddles on the ground Pooling pooling 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 The fields drained dry the rain The fields are bleeding It was the age The foxes came for the fields We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel And prayed for mercy prayed for mercy The rumble is low and the heat is high Got a feeling that there's rain out in the oil black sky Gonna chase away the devil when that sun does rise Gonna plead the blood Gonna plead the blood It was the year The crows and the locusts came The fields drained dry the rain The fields are bleeding It was the age The foxes came for the fields We were bleeding as we bowed to kneel And prayed for mercy prayed for mercy She limps on up to the top of a mount Looks at the faltered harvest Feels her sweat in the ground and the burn in her nose And the knowing in her guts 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 What can wash away my sin Nothing but the blood What can make me whole again Nothing but the blood
