Drink by Earth Groans Lyrics

A dragon opened its mouth and released its breath
Once again the wind blows from the east
Angered, you can hear its temper in the windowpanes shudder
Day in day out, the heat devastates the weak

Dust rises up in skies
Riding on locust wings
Vigor spirals the drain
Like vultures circling

Dried up, the earth lies tired and worn
My soul's grown weary with desolation
I've muttered in prayer, called out in psalm
My soul's grown weary, only my tears to drink

I inhale dust like an addict
My mouth is as dry as the well
Oh heavens, receive these prayers
Fabricate these cries into clouds

The leaves curled up their nose and cursed the relentless surge
Branches become brittle bones, trembling in the wind
The veins drank up the last of earth's drip
Roots retire, exhausted at their digging
Dried up, the earth lies tired and worn
My soul's grown weary with desolation
I've muttered in prayer, called out in psalm
The well is dried up, only my tears to drink
Dried up, the earth lies tired and worn
My soul's grown weary with desolation
I've muttered in prayer, called out in psalm
The well is dried up, my soul is parched

At last a change in the seasons
The life turned bitter will be made sweet again

Blessed the wind that heaves the clouds in
The life turned bitter will be made sweet again
