Crows & Locusts Lyrics by Brooke Fraser

Flags

2010

[Intro]
It was the year
The crows and the locusts came
The fields drank dry the rain
The fields are bleeding
[Verse 1]
"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
[Verse 2]
See the murder and the swarm descend
And the night is getting thick
The moon turning her tricks
She'll betray you every time
[Chorus]
It was the year
The crows and the locusts came
The fields drank 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 pray for mercy, pray for mercy
[Bridge]
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 the sun does rise
Gonna bleed the blood
Gonna bleed the blood
[Chorus]
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 pray for mercy, pray for mercy
[Verse 3]
She limps on up to
The top of a mound
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
[Outro]
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood...
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood...
