Weave On - Serj Tankian

Weave on

Sisters of the night

On your loom of pain

Try and stitch the darkness through the light

Weave on poverty and crime

The wars and waste

Give our souls a break from the hunger

For the prophets and the saints

Stitch it on

The weapons drawn

And the children’s splayed

And the fathers found

In unmarked graves

With your fingers pale and numb

Just braid

Oh, you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

Oh, you sisters weave on

With your stitching purple, blue and red

Oh, you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

Just you still weave on

Feed on

Sorry sons of state

Preaching salvation

While we fall with such amazing grace

Feed on

Love of money, love of race

Disrespect of country

And of neighbors

Neighbored in our hate

Stitch it on

The brothers gone

And the lives they gave

To their foreign graves

With your fingers pale and numb

Just braid, just braid

Oh, you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

Oh, you sisters weave on

With your stitching purple, blue and red

Oh, you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

Oh, you sisters weave on

With your stitching purple, blue and red

Oh, you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

Oh, you sisters weave on

With your stitching purple, blue and red

Just you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

All you sisters just weave on

These are the plans

The words we hear from mind deranged

You there who share his pain

Withdraw from this place and speedily

Lest the harsh

Spite your mind also with madness

How dare, you urge us to cowardice

I am ready to endure

With him whatever must be

I am ready to endure

With him whatever must be

Oh, you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

Oh, you sisters weave on

With your stitching purple, blue and red

Oh, you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

Oh, you sisters weave on

With your stitching purple, blue and red

Just you sisters weave on

Let the blood run through your thread

All you sisters just weave on
