lyrics

In Violence

I hurried on
Heading for the glass river
I came upon
The woman that you carved
The headless one
Ripped from the red earth mother
To lie under the sun
To lie beneath the shadow of another

And your eye was empty
And your mouth it moved in silence
And everything she gave you
You returned to me in violence
But don’t you see don’t you see
I have known it all before
Known a thousand hands
My love like yours

Pushing in pushing in
O to summon up a storm
And the wind and the wind
Blowing black across the floor
It’s a sin it’s a sin
And the roar and the roar
And the roar


O you
You are the night wind too
You have a wound like any other
Yes you are like so many others
Yes you are like so many others
Yes I have twisted ’neath the pin
And what a sacrifice to offer
As you dig the darkness in

And yet still you call me lover
Draw your white chalk on the earth
So I draw my strength from the rest of them
And I spill my blood on the wretched dirt
To rub out your little sin
I cast out your little sin
It blew through me like the wind

I hurried on
I was heading for the glass river
I came upon
The woman that you carved
The headless one
She was ripped from the red earth mother
To lie under the sun
To lie beneath the shadow of another


And your eye was empty
And your mouth it moved in silence
And everything she gave you
Well you returned it to me in violence
But don’t you see don’t you see
I have known it all before
Known a thousand hands
My love like yours

Pushing in pushing in
And they summon up a storm
And the wind and the wind
And the wind how it roars
And the wind and the wind
As it tears across the floor
It’s a sin it’s a sin
It’s the white cross on the door

And the wind and the wind
And the storm and the storm
And the wind and the wind
And the storm
