Salt the Ground
Can you fault an explanation
Of a hallowed consecration
Mother's fighting demons for their kids
Future minor alterations
To avoid an altercation
Watch the men in suits open up their bids
Misty eyes down mirrored halls
Young wives waiting for the call
Or a reassuring letter home
Can you begrudge them their vices
All too late to realize that
They'll be left there waiting on their own
Salt the ground
For your children
For your sister
For the fire we do not expect to survive
Salt the ground
For your mother
For your father
For the hope of ever getting out alive
In our hearts we all are vagrants
Perched on careful prearrangements
We are daughters handed to the groom
In the sky we seek our savior
Always on our best behavior
Reaching absolution in the face of doom
We will march and we will carry
All the things that we are wary of
This fighting can't go on much longer now
Tensions in the air are rising
People swaying, people lying
At the end we wonder if we kept our vows
Of a hallowed consecration
Mother's fighting demons for their kids
Future minor alterations
To avoid an altercation
Watch the men in suits open up their bids
Misty eyes down mirrored halls
Young wives waiting for the call
Or a reassuring letter home
Can you begrudge them their vices
All too late to realize that
They'll be left there waiting on their own
Salt the ground
For your children
For your sister
For the fire we do not expect to survive
Salt the ground
For your mother
For your father
For the hope of ever getting out alive
In our hearts we all are vagrants
Perched on careful prearrangements
We are daughters handed to the groom
In the sky we seek our savior
Always on our best behavior
Reaching absolution in the face of doom
We will march and we will carry
All the things that we are wary of
This fighting can't go on much longer now
Tensions in the air are rising
People swaying, people lying
At the end we wonder if we kept our vows
