lyrics

New English Blood (by Ross Bellenoit & Hannah Zaic)

i followed you high through the deepest of caves
and came back a stranger to what i once craved
no longer attached to the ways of a prince
all subjects and patrons have abandoned me since
and gathering now are some clouds of design
to cover our fields with water divine
abandon your ship you can wade through the flood
if you locate the pulse in my new english blood

i followed you far into skies yet unseen
and landed a friend to the foes of the queen
they buy me my patience with promises made
to keep their religion free from the grenade
and gathering now are the shadows of time
to keep us disrupting the production line
forget the terrain you must dig through the mud
if you're craving a taste of my new english blood

i'll follow you still into oceans and tides
to places "where legends and history collide"
cause the life that you breathe in my restless despair
has given me hope in your sweet scented air
and gathering now are the currents of love
they pull you apart like the wings off a dove
i'll bring you ashore from the coldest of floods
and your breath will be warmed by my new english blood

(April, 2011)
