I've seen too much this year.
I long for it to pass.
The type of memories that turn our hearts to glass.
My mother made well.
My father worked the land.
In dust my ribs were formed.
And I'll return again.

Calm my soul. Calm my soul.

We are born and of the Earth,
Its body and its breath.
We hurt the ones we love,
And we wound what we protect

God, Calm my soul. Calm my soul.
Calm my soul. Who bleeds more?
Calm my soul. Calm my soul.

I've walked behind for too long,
now I will lead the way.
I have strayed, I have strayed, strayed away.

If you've loved in haste,
Thinking only of the cost.
Every river leads to land,
Every lover to a cross.
Your mind and heart at war,
And they thrash inside your lips.
Like an arrow passing through
Your tounge can kill or it can kiss.

calm your soul, Calm your soul,
Calm your soul, That is all, Calm your soul.
Who bleeds more?
Calm my soul. Who bleeds more?
