In a shady place I dig a hole
To sow the seeds of this brave soul.
I strain my back,
while mother earth
commenced the pain of giving birth.
Like perverts words
I'm strung together.
To make some pervert god feel better
My hopes and my sins,
cannot erase this
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
If I get home I'll kiss the ground,
and curse the hopes that held me down.
If I get home I'll tend the fields
Caress the earth beneath my heals.
SHOCK!
SHOCK ME!
In a shady place I dig a hole.
To sow the seeds of this brave soul.
Beneath the tree it's old as sin
I return to work again
I turn the stones
from earth's embrace
With the sweat and tears upon my face
My hopes and my sins
or the many years
