Weave on sisters of the night
On your loom of pain,
Try and stitch the darkness through the light
Weave on poverty and crime, the wars and waste
Give our souls a break from the hunger,
For the prophets and the saints
Stitch it on, the weapons drawn
And the children's spayed and the fathers found
In unmarked graves with your fingers pale and numb
Just braid
Oh, you sisters weave on
Let the blood run through your thread
Oh, you sisters weave on
With your stitching purple, blue and red
Oh, you sisters weave on
Let the blood run through your thread
Just you still weave on
Feed on, sorry sons of state
Preaching salvation, while we fall with such amazing grace
Feed on love of money, love of race
Disrespect of country,
And of neighbors neighbored in our hate
Stitch it on,
The brothers gone,
And the lives they gave to their foreign graves
With your fingers pale and numb
Just braid, just braid
Oh, you sisters weave on
Let the blood run through your thread
Oh, you sisters weave on
With your stitching purple, blue and red
Oh, you sisters weave on
Let the blood run through your thread
Oh, you sisters weave on
With your stitching purple, blue and red
Oh, you sisters weave on
Let the blood run through your thread
Oh, you sisters weave on
With your stitching purple, blue and red
Just you sisters weave on,
Let the blood run through your thread
All you sisters just weave on, on, on!
These are the plans, the words we hear from mind deranged
You there who share his pain,
Withdraw from this place and speedily
Lest the harsh, spite your mind also with madness
How dare you urge us to cowardice
I am ready to endure with him whatever must be
I am ready to endure with him whatever must be
Oh, you sisters weave on
Let the blood run through your thread
Oh, you sisters weave on
With your stitching purple, blue and red
Oh, you sisters weave on
Let the blood run through your thread
Oh, you sisters weave on
With your stitching purple, blue and red
Just you sisters weave on,
Let the blood run through your thread
All you sisters just weave on, on, on!
