No more leaves

No more leaves
onto this ground
onto this ground
The lord gave us a daughter and a son
and I once knew a way to love you
You came to me and said we'd have a son
you touched my belly and named him Jonah
When he came, you wept as you held him
but you brought him up with a stern hand
and I convinced myself that pain was a virtue
We moved to these woods
to learn to read God's law
you showed me what you read and it was all that mattered
through our little girl
I finally saw
that i'd let you act as a prophet and a jailer
you sang songs with her on your shoulders
but you forced your law
when her blood came
and I realized I'd brought my children into suffering
No more spilling in the dust
the blood of the ones I love
when you come for me
I will not bear the seed of another soul
for you to crush
No more spilling the dust
the blood of the ones I love
When you come for me
I will not bear the seed of another soul
for you to crush
I prayed and prayed and prayed
but in the end
the only thing that stopped you
was a cold
little
rubber
