Native Blood Lyrics by Silent Planet

The Night God Slept

2014

[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
The barren wastes bearing down on me [1]
Cracks in the clouds leave me wondering
Did the oceans dry out, return to the sky
For a privileged perspective of our final goodbye?
Pretend it's a house of peace while she's buried underneath
You built your father's house over my mother's grave [2]
Bodies, a mass grave collapse the concave floor
These sanctimonious steeples will meet us in the dirt
Because the earth is trembling, [3] if only we had eyes to see it shake
Ignorant until we expire
[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
When the ocean fills our veins and the soil becomes my bones [4]
[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton]
Maybe we'll fall asleep tonight
To the madness in the melody poured out for slaves
[Post-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
We were dressed in potential, now we're draped in sorrow
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Our race is a bloodstain spattered on a profane political campaign
Manifest your destiny
Stripes and stars comprise my prison bars
The cost of liberty [5]
[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton & Garret Russell]
Maybe we'll fall asleep tonight
To the madness in the melody poured out for slaves
Maybe this storm is a perfect score
For wretched bodies washed ashore, poured out for me [6]
[Verse 3: Garrett Russell]
The life I loved looking up at me
Saplings struck like daggers hemorrhaging streams
As the breath of my people return to the ground [7]
So forests can once more abound
The suffering cross that overcame [8]
The name of love made concurrent with shame
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
This melody, I thought it familiar
It sounds like your heartbeat keeping time
Then you turn and remind me that this pain has a purpose
And maybe we'll fall asleep tonight
