Patriarch / Matriarch

from Safety vs. Shelter by Horses and Bayonets

lyrics

these are my hands on the plough
can you see the sweat on my brow?
but my work here could never be finished

I sleep the lightest of all
that I might come when they call
these weak ones need my strength

you are not my own
blood of my blood
but I will love you all the same
no one else would

I tread most treacherous floods
I carry their bodies well above
this water cannot control them
not while I hold them

I grip this wheel so tight
that they may sleep through the night
I promise, some day we will arrive

(chorus)
