Dug a Hole - Filled It With Blood

Some have sired, some have sown

Some have seen all the world

Some have sought while others have known

Dug a hole - Filled it with blood

Beasts were tamed, land was tilled

Towers would fondle the sky

Few would conquer while many would yield

Dug a hole - Filled it with blood

And I have scorched this small patch of dirt

A testament to my dreams and my hurt

I ripped at my flesh and tore at the mud

Dug a hole - Filled it with blood

Violence and wonderment

Loss and love and lies

Souls redeemed without consent

Dug a hole - Filled it with blood

Angels in the cloud and sea

Armies carved out of steel

And all the quarrelsome deities

Dug a hole - Filled it with blood

And I have scorched this small patch of dirt

A testament to my dreams and my hurt

I ripped at my flesh and tore at the mud

Dug a hole - Filled it with blood
