rich shapero & orenda fink - these arms lyrics
you could lock up the life of the mind
in a prison of salt for generations
you gave the fools their pleasures online
and the fighters their mutilations
in a man’s head, a wild polyp grows
from the white bed, the monster rose
an agent, a doctor in a white coat
through the glass—they’re falling to the street below
arms, arms, these arms
these arms know what you are
“why are you here?” the question is posed
by a simple soldier, a child now to me
the one i serve is a god unknown—
he’ll turn this desert into a sea
arms, arms, these arms
these arms will touch us all
i come to bury a people gone wrong
to enter every house and lie in every bed
it will not take these arms very long
to pick the living from those already dead
arms, arms, these arms
these arms will sift the salt
arms, arms, these arms
these arms will touch us all
