"Hallowed Ground" lyrics

My hands are tired from planting seeds
The ground we sow is so diseased
Maybe rain will come if God intervenes
This place isn't as blessed as it seems

Gave our tears and gave our blood, said, "The soil's not enough"
And I saw the end of us

I thought we were standing on hallowed ground
But now, our roots torn out and the roof came down
These walls made to save us are rubble now
And the few pieces that we found
Won't be enough for us to fix this house

My eyes are heavy from counting sheep
My soul is cold from lack of sleep
Maybe dreams will come, both dark and deep
Maybe we're not as blessed as we seem

Gave our tears and gave our blood, said, "The soil's not enough"
And I saw the end of us
Couldn't keep out all the floods, now the damage has been done
I still miss the way it was

I thought we were standing on hallowed ground
But now, our roots torn out and the roof came down
These walls made to save us are rubble now
And the few pieces that we found
Won't be enough for us to fix this house

So we'll disappear, leave our bodies here
And let the earth reclaim our bones
Where it all began before we ruined it
We used to call this place our home

I thought we were standing on hallowed ground
But now, our roots torn out and the roof came down
These walls made to save us are rubble now
And the few pieces that we found
Won't be enough for us to fix this house

So we'll disappear, leave our bodies here
Won't be enough for us to fix this house
Where it all began before we ruined it
We used to call this place our home
