Blood Red Running (Psalm 79)
by Steph Macleod

Album: Gold

Nation invaded
Tempel defiled
City in ruins
And the dead feed the sky

Blood is poured out like water
In the city of the dead
The eyes of the world look on with scorn and contempt

All is silent
All is still
Not a movement
Just a chill

All around Jerusalem
I see the blood red running
The blood red running yeah
There's no one out to bury the dead
Just the blood red running
The blood red running yeah

Tell me how long, oh Lord
Will you be angry forever
Will your jealousy burn like fire
Pour your wrapped up on the nations
Who do not call your name
And let judgement rain down from the sky

All is silent
All is still
Not a movement
Just a chill

All around Jerusalem
I see the blood red running
The blood red running yeah
There's no one out to bury the dead
Just the blood red running
The blood red running yeah

Oh God of salvation
Come quickly to me
Pour out your compassion
I'm down on my knees
Deliver us from evil
I don't want my sins
For the sake of your name
Set your glory within

I let the voice of the captors
Rise up through the sky
Let your power preserve
Your people, it's like
We thank you forever
We're counting your grace
We are rising together
Stand in your maze

And all is silent
All is still
Not a movement
Just a chill
