Lyrics

Holy law is written in the blood of man
it doesn’t bend and never breaks
Sister, my sister, who you lyin’ to?
I know where you’ve been

Second time you don’t come home, you break your brother’s heart
Stick to your own
Your every fear is what you vanquish
Their laws are not our laws

So take a stranger to the barn
You’ll never know what you take on
Tell me how to love my brother
Family seeks nothing other

I’ve paid a price to take you on
Rock renders loam
Filthy heel swelled with wine
Some unwashed foot in my mouth is pryin’ off my jaw

Take a stranger to the barn
You never know what you take on
Tell me how to love my brother
Family seeks nothing other

Too much advice, dad
