[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
An end to all this quarrel
A final grace to rid her grief
Oh mother
Show no mercy for me

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
Don't you want something real
Don't you want something real
