Weave On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Weave on Sisters of the night On your loom of pain Try and stitch the darkness through the light Weave on poverty and crime The wars and waste Give our souls a break from the hunger For the prophets and the saints [Pre-Chorus] Stitch it on The weapons drawn And the children's splayed And the fathers found In unmarked graves With your fingers pale and numb Just braid [Chorus] Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on With your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Just you still weave on [Verse 2] Feed on Sorry sons of state Preaching salvation While we fall with such amazing grace Feed on Love of money, love of race Disrespect of country And of neighbors Neighbored in our hate [Pre-Chorus] Stitch it on The brothers gone And the lives they gave To their foreign graves With your fingers pale and numb Just braid, just braid [Chorus] Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on With your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on With your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on With your stitching purple, blue and red [Post-Chorus] Just you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread All you sisters just weave on [Verse 3] These are the plans The words we hear from mind deranged You there who share his pain Withdraw from this place and speedily Lest the harsh Spite your mind also with madness How dare, you urge us to cowardice [Bridge] I am ready to endure With him whatever must be I am ready to endure With him whatever must be [Chorus] Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on With your stitching purple, blue and red Oh, you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread Oh, you sisters weave on With your stitching purple, blue and red [Post-Chorus] Just you sisters weave on Let the blood run through your thread All you sisters just weave on
