Daughters of the Dark Bloom

Daughter of the Dark Bloom

The creek behind the church is running thick and strange today
There's a film of broken rainbows where the children used to play
The catfish are all belly-up, a silent, silver fleet
And the air is thick with chemicals, both bitter and too sweet
The farmers pray for rain, but the clouds are full of rust
Turning all their golden fields to consecrated dust
They say it's just the season, say it's just a damn dry spell
But we know they're selling off the water from the deepest well

They sold the sky above us and the dirt beneath our shoes
Then they taught us how to sing a more convenient kind of blues
Where the villain is your neighbor and the poison is the cure
And the only thing that's certain is that nothing is for sure

And the river don't rise for the righteous, the sun don't shine for the blessed
It just shines on the politician's smile and the cancer in your chest
Yeah, the river don't care who is praying, it don't care who is good
It just carries all the poison through your ruined neighborhood
No, the river don't rise for the righteous, it just does what it's told
By the men who turned the water into stock that can be sold.

The trees are getting tired, you can see it in the leaves
They're forgetting how to change now, like a widow who still grieves
For a world that had a rhythm, for a world that had a rhyme
Before they started drawing their new maps on top of time
They build their gleaming factories on sacred, stolen ground
And the only thing that trickles down is the acid raining down
We used to read the signs in nature, the birds upon the wire
Now the only sign we get is the color of the fire

They sold the sky above us and the dirt beneath our shoes
Then they taught us how to sing a more convenient kind of blues
Where the villain is your neighbor and the poison is the cure
And the only thing that's certain is that nothing is for sure

And the river don't rise for the righteous, the sun don't shine for the blessed
It just shines on the politician's smile and the cancer in your chest
Yeah, the river don't care who is praying, it don't care who is good
It just carries all the poison through your ruined neighborhood
No, the river don't rise for the righteous, it just does what it's told
By the men who turned the water into stock that can be sold.

The land itself is speaking, but it's in a foreign tongue
The dying of the bees, the silence in the young
It's a ballad of betrayal, a slow and toxic fade
For the love of profit and the terrible trade.

And the river don't rise for the righteous, the sun don't shine for the blessed
It just shines on the politician's smile and the cancer in your chest
Yeah, the river don't care who is praying, it don't care who is good
It just carries all the poison through your ruined neighborhood
No, the river don't rise for the righteous, it just does what it's told
By the men who turned the water into stock that can be sold.
