Holy Blood Video (MV)

Did you break your momma's back?
Did she try to hold you back from all the world?
When in that moment she realised
That what had fallen from her womb
Wouldn't lay flowers on the tomb
Of any soldier upon whom she'd cast her murderous eye?

Mother Mary let me go
I won't fight under your banner no more
So contrary, don't you know
Your assumption is the mother of all whores

So I just keep on hangin' round
In the hopes we'll paint the town red
With the blood of Jesus Christ and all the saints
I ain't complainin', no no no
I'm happy just to go down to the docks
Where all the sirens sing their songs through salty lips

Disappointed, maybe so
But all is fair in love and war
How the hell does your garden grow
When salt is all you sow into that barren soil?

Take me to the garden grove tonight
Lay upon my darkened head a kiss
Goodbye...

Now my back is red and raw
'Cause absolution's such a chore
Now hold this rod for me and be my redeemer
Time's a wastin', hurry up
Now drink the poison from the cup
This holy blood will quench the fire in your heart

Why I take this, I don't know
But foul is fair in love and war
You push my pulmonary flow
Sing hallelujah like the sirens on the shore

Take me to the garden grove tonight
Lay upon my darkened head a kiss
Goodbye...

I want your holy holy, holy holy, holy holy blood
