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
