Blood and Bone

Hear the verse and chorus through RealAudio. Note: You'll download the file and then the player will begin. No streaming capacity on my page: sorry!.

Build all of your cities as high as you might
though that will not save you in the silence of the night.
We will see all of your arrogance crushed down in the mud
for we have our patience and our blood.

Chorus:
You may put your buildings out in space,
you may put them underground.
You may build with steel, brick, wood, and stone.
We can build with blood and bone.

While you are planning and erecting each new tower,
we are creating and producing a new power
which operates machinery, technology, and still
can observe and witness and act with a will.

(Chorus)

Buildings, you say, reflect a grand design.
They shelter, but also, they say, "This is mine."
We protect our young with the best that we have.
They will live and that is our salve.

(Chorus)

There is more than one type of architect.
Raise a new building or raise and protect
a new generation, grown as your own
to live and fight after you are gone.

(Chorus)

The evil that men do will crumble into dust.
In their wake, other people will rise, as they must.
The folly of your structures is they're hollow, and within
are the children and the parents. We will win.

(Chorus)
