bayonet - seeming lyrics
[verse 1]
“make me an instrument of your peace”
that’s what she said when the smoke bore silence
when all the fighting slowed
when touching skin was still
not close enough to find the soldiers nearby
[verse 2]
said, “make me an instrument of your peace
your peace as kind as an air raid siren”
she cursed the dawn, still and cold
said “it’s better to feel
another person than do no violence,” said
[chorus]
“when your bullets are gone
and you still can’t connect
with the one you love
i’ll be your bayonet”
[verse 3]
i showed her chessboards and cathedrals
translating oceans into bishops’ footsteps
that sp*ce between us glows
and passion means to k!ll
and bones are no more than myths of doctors
[verse 4]
but with her hands, i planted saplings
and with her ax saw them grow and crumble
where every sparrow’s nest casts off its eggs like sandbags as it flew to heaven
[verse 5]
she’s the rays from the sky burning cancer to skin
she’s the juress who smiles convicting anne boleyn
she’s the feast without end bursting all who partake
and when i raise that white flag then the war starts again
[chorus]
when your bullets are gone
and you still can’t connect
with the one you love
i’ll be your bayonet
when your cover is blown
your hiding place is found
i will be your revealer deep underground
[chorus]
when your bullets are gone
and you still can’t connect
with the one you love
i’ll be your bayonet
when your cover is blown
your hiding place is found
i will be your revealer deep underground
[chorus]
when your bullets are gone
and you still can’t connect
with the one you love
i’ll be your bayonet
when your cover is blown
your hiding place is found
i will be your revealer deep underground
i will be your revealer deep underground
i will be your revealer deep underground
