Holy Water (Cross Myself)

Holy water, cross myself

Holy water, cross myself

Leaking into every crevice

Holy water fills my eyes

I never asked to be baptised

But I was judged and I was sentenced

Oh, how my childhood self was coerced and bent

They buried it deep and put me to sleep

To hell I was sent

Holy water fills the street

In the rivers and the creeks

Polluting and dividing

Holy water in the sewers

It's never gonna cure

All the misery and violence

But oh, how my life, so long, is so short tonight

It's dark like a moat

I'm trying to float towards the light

Cross myself

(Woh...)

Cross myself

(Woh...)

Holy water in the veins

Of the missiles and the planes

Raining down from heaven

As the young man plants the bomb

On the road to kingdom come

Is he blasted to his senses?

Oh, how the village burned and the sky turned red

The witches were drowned, the children were found

All silent in bed

Cross myself

(Woh...)

Cross myself

(Woh...)

Cross myself

(Woh...)

Cross myself

Cross myself
