Lyrics

[01:30.000] The sisters worked for the people round them
[01:38.500] Their Spanish lace wove some bread for the poor
[01:44.700] And they cared and tried but were worn with
[01:49.000] Their fears and the years of heartbreak
[01:59.700] Dust and wine stained the men who knew them
[02:08.000] The sweat of days in the angry sun
[02:14.500] And the men were weak, and they cried
[02:17.000] And they asked, "Sisters, make us holy."
[02:29.300] The sisters prayed, "Give us hope for something."
[02:37.500] The men asked, "Where is your God today?"
[02:43.800] And the empty eyes as the sisters prayed held
[02:48.000] Their thoughts unspoken
[02:58.000] There was nothing they could do
[03:06.000] Earth was dust for miles around
[03:14.000] Nothing new survived
[03:22.200] Everything was barren on the land
[03:30.000] And the truth they tried to understand just died
[06:09.800] Everything was barren on the land
[06:17.700] And the truth they tried to understand just died
