lyrics

hard hand holding me
high hand hovering
hard hand holding me
high hand hovering

empty demons cry
fields of wild grass sing
you can see
stepping outside
how the land lies

stones containing dreams
dark jeeps go by
you can tell
remaining outside
how the land lies

bottles of fire talk
men comparing deeds
dagger eyes
threaten outside
how the land lies

words hang in wind
long left to dry
ghostly mouths
teach you outside
how the land lies

hooves of four horses are drumming
over plains of endless numbing
hope of mothers' sons of coming home

she keeps me in the shelter of her storm
she keeps me as the skies revolve
she can show me
waiting inside
how the land lies

hard hand holding me
high hand hovering
hard hand holding me
high hand hovering
