Blood on the Sand Lyrics

"You can't buy it, but it has a price," said Oryx. "Everything has a price."
Margaret Atwood - Oryx and Crake

There's no blood on the sand
There's no sand anymore, there's no sky
There is nothing but dreams
And how the stomach burns
since the last stone fell
When I lick my wounds I can taste your relief

But in anything you touch I will be
I am the s***e between your hands Wait for me, wait for me
Set the world on fire for me
In anything you touch I will be
And you will not understand
Wait for me, wait for me
Set the world on fire for me
You shed bad dreams as you writhe
I curl around the edge to tuck a little mouthful to sleep
Don't let a single blow miss
Just sink your teeth
There's no choice anymore
There is nothing but belief

In anything you touch I will be
I am the s***e between your hands
Wait for me, wait for me
Set the world on fire for me
In anything you touch I will be
And you will not understand
Wait for me, wait for me
Set the world on fire for me
Let me sing it like you made me
May it bring you what you gave me:
Old eyes to see for you
New heart to bleed for you
In anything you touch I will be
I am the s***e between your hands
Wait for me
