#06 The Blood Gets Read

1 The day has come To draw my final breath Sing one last song My Lord will come To draw you from this land And then you can carry my bones clear When you’re chased up outta here

2 And with a new king's power And his new found fears One who's forgotten Joseph's name Break them with brick and mortar By the Niles' banks yeah That's the way the blood gets read Just throw their sons into the river bed If you don't mind let all their daughters live

3 A prince has come Of humble origin To right the wrongs Thought no one saw Him strike a countryman Whom fear had him bury in the sand Took justice with his hands Now he's fled to Midian

4 Driven to be a foreigner In a foreign land Thinking of what is left at home Wondering how long deaf ears Will hear them crying out yeah That's the way the blood gets read

5 Unconsuming flame and Voice in a burning bush Igniting an exodus at home Suff'ring a midnight strike will Hear Egypt crying out yeah That's the way the blood gets read

6 Just brush the lintel and the doorposts with The basin's blood so He'll Passover it Yeah that's the way the blood gets read
