lyrics

Under a cloud of an olive tree
I opened up my eyes and I loved where I've been.
Souvenirs from the sun were carried by the wind.
I decided to dig a well, I needed a drink.

I dag very deep and I threw my bucket in.
I pulled it back and it was very red indeed.
Yeah, the ground is soaked with blood from the river to the sea.
The ground is soaked with blood from the valley to the hills.

Milk & honey & blood.

The land where I'm from can't promise anything but wars.
Then flowers turn into spikes, then nothing else grows.
All the kids get to be soldiers, not all the soldiers get to be adults.
The land where I'm from can't promise anything but wars.

Milk & honey & blood.

Are you the chosen one, the chose one to fight?
Do you even know what God is all about?
You say you got that spark, but you're still in the dark.
Are you the chosen one, the chosen one to fight?

Milk & honey & blood.
