From the recording Burn Like A Field
Lyrics
Leave the keys outside. I don’t need to meet your eye.
Oh how lovers who have lied turn to rivals.
I would summon tears to escort you out of here
But they’d only interfere with my survival.
Holy holy ground. Oh, my love is my hometown.
And everything you found, I’m taking back.
I will put to flame every place that has your name.
Until I reclaim the promised land.
Who is it you were all the times that I was sure?
I’d have sworn our love was pure upon a bible.
Had I only known that I fell in love alone,
I’d have put aside some stones for my survival.
Holy holy ground. Oh, my love is my hometown.
And everything you found, I’m taking back.
I will put to flame every place that has your name.
Until I reclaim the promised land.
Promised land. Promised land. Promised land.
You will come to see when you’re coming back for me,
And my heart don’t skip a beat at your arrival.
That’s how well I’ve learned from the home you left to burn
That each soul must take their turn for survival.
Holy holy ground. Oh, my love is my hometown.
And everything you found, I’m taking back.
I will put to flame every place that has your name.
Until I reclaim the promised land.
