joustene lorenz - on the sea of galilee lyrics

Loading...

1
i was born on the west bank
of the sea of galilee
our mother died, four brothers k!lled
and now there’s only me

i tried to free this memory
and turn the other cheek
but when evening comes, i hear god’s drums
calling out to me

chorus
oh, the fury in my veins
fire and blade to hold this land

2
a thousand generations
and the fighting still remains
three sides’ interpretations
one god by different names

i’ve tried my best to understand
this history of pain
on the sea of galilee
and the gennesaret plains
chorus
oh, the fury in my veins
fire and blade to hold this land

3
now i sleep with the windows closed
the scriptures by my bed
abraham comes to talk with me
to justify my death

he tells me that he still believes
in a god of cruel intent
and my sacrifice does not rely
on knowing what he meant

chorus
oh, the fury in my veins
fire and blade to hold this land

4
the wind that comes from the sinai
desert in the spring
whispers of a sacred time
when human life begins

from fire and blade and all things made
from god to clay to me
and the battlefields that came to be—
the sea of galilee
chorus
oh, the fury in my veins
fire and blade to hold this land
