Lyrics

For years I fed you
and called you my own
With love I gave you
a place to call home

I gave my body,
my life, and my soul
And you, my children,
exhausted it all

You summoned from me
these fires and floods
And I will drown
your daughters and sons

For years I warned you
For years you have known
When peace was offered
you asked for the storm

So here I give you
the fruit you have sewn
and wash my hands of
the blood on my shores

You summoned from me
these fires and floods
And I will drown
your daughters and sons

I gave my body,
my life, and my soul
My tears are gone now
I'll give you no more

You summoned from me
these fires and floods
And I will drown
your daughters and sons
