lyrics

There's blood, there's blood above my door
My daddy, he put it there
Down veins of wood the crimson pours
And lingers in the air

'What barb'rous redemption,' thought I
'What bloody protection from night.'
But we'll not feel death's bite
At least not tonight.

There's blood, there's blood upon my heart
My mama, she put it there
It's not her blood, but on that heart
Are her sweat, her tears, her prayers

O mother, O mother how I
Will treasure your words of life
And someday when this firstborn dies
That blood will be life
