Dug a Hole - Filled It with Blood

Some have sired, some have sown
Some have seen all the world
Some have sought while others have known
Dug a hole — Filled it with blood
Beasts were tamed, land was tilled
Towers would fondle the sky
Few would conquer while many would yield
Dug a hole — Filled it with blood
And I have scorched this small patch of dirt
A testament to my dreams and my hurt
I ripped at my flesh and tore at the mud
Dug a hole — Filled it with blood
Violence and wonderment
Loss and love and lies
Souls redeemed without consent
Dug a hole — Filled it with blood
Angels in the cloud and sea
Armies carved out of steel
And all the quarrelsome deities
Dug a hole — Filled it with blood
And I have scorched this small patch of dirt
A testament to my dreams and my hurt
I ripped at my flesh and tore at the mud
Dug a hole — Filled it with blood
